Your pictures of those old Strombecker slot cars brings back a lot of memories . . . looks like you've got alot of work ahead of you !

That tool is for pulling the pinion gears off of the motors .

Brings back a lot of memories for me too. I remember playing with them at my dad's a lot.

Thanks for the info on the tool!!!

That tool is a makeshift pinion gear press, not sure exactly what motor it was made for. For can type motors like the orange one in that sidewinder, they look like this:

I'm logged in but can't see the photos. There are pics of a cat saying photo not found.

Don't know what's wrong. -- Ernie :>)

Pics gone.

We have a pic problem on this board no one is willing to address.

The pics are gone probably because he deleted them from his host after the trade/sale was made and they were no longer needed.

That gear puller was pretty universal--it works on pressed-on pinion gears.
