Wow- haven't seen one of them in awhile ! ...that's Pure AJ's right there.... I'm not 100% certain, but that chassis may have been used under the Oscar Track Cleaning Vehicle and/or the Tow Truck ?


1970s AJ's Brass Pan Chassis

Wiper Blade Style Pick Up Shoes. Aluminum Wheels with Glued On Silicone Tires. Plastic Pinion Worm Gear, Meshed to a Twisted-Plastic, Axle Crown Gear. Stamped 'Made in Hong Kong.'

It looks like AJ's had at least five cars (trucks) that used this chassis. I will have to do more research to find out what the pan was used with.

Thanks for the help on the chassis guys. I do have the pickup shoes for the chassis. I was wondering what they went to! Oh yeah, thanks for the pic's and link too!

The brass pan is for AF/X cars:

Here is a blow up of the instructions from the same site:

Oh - and I found a shot of it "installed" on another site as well. :)

That's great!!! Thanks so much for the instructions and pictures! :text-bravo: Now I'll have to try it out!

Glad to assist! We are talking about trying to resurrect a "brass wars" type class at the local track, so I have been looking into some of the neat vintage pieces for ideas on stuff I can make myself, etc.
You'll have to let us know how well it works! :D

I'll post a picture.I don't have my track up yet, so I can't do a test as of now.

Wow :scared-eek: - that AJ's Pan fits an A/FX Chassis- SuWEET ! :text-goodpost:
I myself have several of the AJ's brass pans for the T-JET chassis, but never saw one for the A/FX....as I was getting out of Slot Cars(back in the day) at about the Time A/FX were becoming popular, and the MagnaTraction version hadn't even come out yet.

Anyway, this turned out to be a really cool Thread, thanks for starting it :text-bravo:

Looks like it fits on there nicely! :handgestures-thumbup:

BTW- Originally, that AJ's Brass was for the First A/FX, Non-Magna Traction Chassis, which actually need the benefit MORE than the later MT Chassis did.
