So, I have about 10 of the 1969/1970 Mustangs from Scalextric in addition to the 8-10 of these chassis under other resin bodies. I just picked up the Smokey Yunick Black/Gold Mustang last weekend.
The case was sealed perfectly, and the car is perfect looking. Never been on the track, so I try to run it, and the guide keeps falling out of the chassis. Upon inspection I find the following issues:
The guide's hole is larger in diameter than any other one I have and will not hold the guide
The guide return spring is missing
The wires used to have clips that held it on to the pickups - this car has them simply soldered on - and rather sloppily at that as one just came off and will require a re-soldering
Anyone else seen these issues?
