I recently bought a brand new&sealed 8480 set hidden behind many boxes in a
shop !
120 EUR = cheap knowing that the set includes many electrical parts (motor,
micro-motor, 2 polarity switches, 1 battery box).

But, after the complete assembly, I could not get the retractable wheels to
work nicely: only the front wheel locks perfectly both up and down.  The
rear wheels only move up and down, but do not lock in the down position,
which means that once put on the ground, the weight of the shuttle just
forces the rear wheel to fold.

Questions:
- Is this normal ?

No, it's not normal - go back throught the instructions, and check that the
gear trains mesh with the parts at the right angles as in the pictures -
this is *very* important!

PS: do you also feel guilty to play Technics at 35 years old ?

Not at all! And I feel just as non-guilty at 38!
