Hello,
I don't exactly know where to put this, so I'll take a chance and post here -
please forgive me if I should've posted elsewhere..
I stumbled upon a gently used copy of "Danske Modelbiler" Collectors Priceguide
for Danish Modelcars, by Dorte Johansen and Hans Hedegard. It was on an Autobook
dealer's clearance table at the Los Angeles Auto Show for $20 (next to the "How

Wow, what a great selection of photos of old LEGO diecast! I'd seen some of the
cars in other publications, but this one had a bunch of the trucks too - mostly
REALLY cool Chevy commercials and sedan deliveries. There's even LEGO tractors!

to have come on several of the trucks. It looks like an old-fashioned cable
release for a camera, but somehow allows you to steer (sorry, I can't translate
the text!). Anyone have any experience with these? How do they work, and is it
likely I'd be able to find one in serviceable condition?
Thanks,
Darrell

| (...) Hi, If you are familiar with the 60's steerable vehicles (331-337), the steering mechanism on these earlier ~1:40 (non-constructional) vehicles of which you enquire was quite similar. The triangle sign on the cab roof is the user control, as (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jan-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.dk)
