Welcome

If you can provide a model number and/or name from the set someone may be able to help you. The model number would probably be on a sticker on the back. If it is on one of the chassis you would need to take the back of and have a look. Beware though; there may be very high voltage in there even if it is turned off and unplugged from 240V, especially if it has been turned on recently.

A photo would also be useful. This would need to be sent to the administrator Brad. Right click on his underlined name anywhere and his details will come up.

Cheers

It's an Astor Royal 3-In-1, made between 1969 and 1972. Hard to say what it's worth. Collectors generally go for the smaller sets, but it's unusual to find an old set like this still working.

Hi,
I've got 2 of these ,one was given to me ,and the other I bought for $150.00.

Not really considered collectable or worth much . My folks had one and my grand folks so I ended up with one.

Vic.
