.
I HAVE HAD THIS STASHED AWAY WITH A FEW HUNDRED (TO THOUSANDS) OR SO ADDITIONAL MODELS THAT I HAVE COLLECTED OVER THE PAST 5 DECADES OR SO.
I HAVE A
BOUT 10 COMPLETE AND DIFFERENT VARIANTO SETS IN HOUSE THAT I WILL BE OFFERING UP HERE ON EBAY OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS OR SO.
THIS IS  SOMEWHAT OF A UNIQUE SCHUCO 3010 VARIANTO SET (MORE ON THIS LATER).
HAVING HUNDREDS OF MODEL CARS TO CHOOSE FROM, MOSTLY PORSCHE AND CORVETTES, I HAVE DECIDED TO START LISTING SOME OF THESE HERE ON E-BAY. 95% OF THESE ARE ONE-OF-A-KINDS LISTINGS AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO SHOW YOU AN ARRAY OF PICTURES AND DESCRIBE THEM TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. THIS COMPLETE, SCHUCO 3010B VARIANTO SET WITH ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL ACCESSORIES IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE
!
AS YOU CAN SEE THE ORIGINAL BOX IS HERE AND IN
GOOD
OVERALL CONDITION/SHAPE.
THE BASE
AND LID ARE 100% ORIGINAL AND COMPLETE
, SOME OF THE CORNERS OF THE LID HAVE BEEN RE-TAPED AT ONE TIME AND THIS TAPE HAS FALLEN OFF .... LEAVING BEHIND SOME TAPE RESIDUE. THE BASE HAS A COUPLE OF BROKEN CORNERS BUT HAS PROTECTED IT'S CONTENTS WELL.
AS YOU CAN SEE FROM MY PICTURES, YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL "SCHUCO
-
VARIANTO 3010"
INSTRUCTIONS.
PICTURED
ON THESE SHEETS ARE THE VARIATIONS OF THE TRACKS THAT YOU CAN
DERIVE
FROM THIS SET. OF COURSE, YOU CAN ALWAYS ADD ON TO THIS SET AS ALL OF THE VARIANTO SETS AND INDIVIDUAL ITEMS/PIECES WORK WITH ONE ANOTHER. Y
OU
HAVE THE ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
BOTH VEHICLES CONTAINED WITHIN THIS SET. YOU ALSO HAVE THE ORIGINAL SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET OF TRACK MODELS AND ITEMS RELATED TO THE VARIANTO LINE, THIS TOO IS ORIGINAL AND CAME WITH THIS SET.
YOU ALSO HAVE ALWAYS MISSING PLASTIC PIECES WHICH HOLD THE BRASS CONNECTORS FOR THE WIRE AND SPRING TRACKS AND THE ORIGINAL KEYS FOR THE MODELS. BOTH OF THESE SECTIONS ARE FILLED AND COMPLETE ... EVEN WITH MATCHING DARK SCHUCO KEYS!
WITH THIS 3010B YOU ALSO HAVE A FULL CONTINGENCY OF HARD WIRE TRACK SECTIONS IN ALL OF THE AVAILABLE SECTIONS/SIZES (FIVE IN TOTAL). THESE HARD TRACK SECTIONS ALLOW THE FLEXIBLE SECTIONS TO KEEP THE LAYOUT THAT YOU HAVE DESIGNED. IN ADDITION, THESE HARD TRACK SECTIONS ALLOW YOU TO USE ALL OF THE PROVIDED TRACK SECTIONS AS YOU DO NEED SPACE IN-BETWEEN THESE SECTIONS TO PROPERLY USE THEM AND THESE ALLOW YOU TO DO JUST THAT.
IN ADDITION TO ALL OF THE ABOVE, HERE YOU HAVE THREE (3) DIFFERENT PLASTIC TRACK SECTIONS WHICH ALLOW YOU GREAT DIVERSITY IN BOTH THE DESIGN AND THE LAY-OUT OF YOUR DESIRED TRACK WITH TWO (2) OF THE START AND STOP SECTIONS.
LASTLY YOU HAVE ALL OF THE ORIGINAL SPRING WIRE TRACK THAT CAME WITH THIS SET AS NEW!
THIS 3010
B SET HAS THE CLASSIC COMBINATION OF THE VARIANTO
-LASTO 3042 PICK-UP TRUCK
AND THE THE VARIAN
TO-LIMO 3041
. THESE VEHI
CLES ARE THE SAME COLOR AND THESE VEHICLES ARE RED.
ON
BOTH OF THESE VEHICLES
YOU HAVE
A
SWITCH W
HICH
WILL STOP THE STRONG CLOCKWORK
MOTOR
FROM DISCHARGING AND ALLOW YOU 3 VARIABLE SPEEDS IN WHICH TO TRAVEL FORWARD IN. THESE FUN
CTIONS WORK VERY WELL, BOTH VEHICLES ARE MADE IN THE U.S. ZONE OF GERMANY. ON THE TOP OF THE TRUCK'S ROOF IS WHERE YOU WIND UP THE CLOCKWORK MOTOR (THE ORIGINAL KEY IS ALSO INCLUDED). THE OTHER HOLE ON THE TRUCK'S HOOD IS WHERE YOU CAN INSERT THE MANUAL STEERING CABLE. BOTH OF THESE CABLES ARE HERE AND BOTH OF THE ORIGINAL BAGS ARE ALSO INCLUDED. THE CAR'
S CLOCKWORK MOTO
R IS WOUND UP FROM THE
DRIVER'S SIDE. BOTH OF THESE CLOCKWORK DRIVES ARE STRONG AND LONG LASTING ...HENCE "LASTO"!
TH
IS
SET
BROUGHT BACK SO MANY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES WHEN I JUST TESTED IT! THIS 3010B SET WAS/IS A MORE ADVANCED SET AND NOT CONSIDERED A "STARTER SET" LIKE THE 3010K IS. I
HAVE A FEW 3010K'S LISTED AT THIS TIME AND I HAVE A COUPLE OF THE LARGER MORE COMPLEX SETS IN WHICH I PLAN ON LISTING LATER THIS YEAR... THIS IS ONE OF THEM.
THE
VEHICLE'S BODIES ARE
IN GOOD TO VERY GOOD CONDITION/SHAPE. YES, THERE ARE SOME VERY SLIGHT PLAY MARKS FROM USE, MOST OF WHICH ARE LOCATED ON THE
BODY
.
THE FINISH
ES ARE
BRIGHT AND SH
I
NY.
I CAN LOCATE NO RUST OR CORROSION ANYWHERE ON EITHER OF THESE VEHICLES! BOTH OF THESE VEHICLES RUN THROUGH THEIR GEARS SMOOTHLY AND "STOP" ON COMMAND.
THIS SET WAS/IS FULLY MADE IN THE "
U.S. ZONE OF GERMANY
" AND ALL OF THE INDIVIDUAL PIECES ARE SO MARKED! WITH THIS SET YOU EVEN HAVE THE MATCHING ORIGINAL SCHUCO KEYS!
ON THE SIDE OF THE BASE, YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL STICKER WHICH HAS THE MODEL NUMBER "3010 B" ON IT.
SIMPLY PUT, YOU WILL BE VERY HARD PRESSED TO EVER LOCATE ANOTHER ONE OF THESE 3010B'S IN THIS CONDITION AND THIS COMPLETE (UNLESS IT'S FROM ME)! ALL OF THE TRACK SECTIONS ARE PERFECT WITH NO CRACKS OR CHIPS. ALL OF THE SPRING LIKE WIRES/CABLES ARE IN PERFECT SHAPE/CONDITION WITH NO PULLS OR ELONGATIONS FOUND ON ANY OF TH
ESE
SECTIONS. YOU ALSO HAVE THE ORIGINAL BRASS
CONNECTORS WHICH HOLD TWO OF THESE SPRING TRACK SECTIONS AND HARD WIRE SECTIONS TOGETHER AS WELL AS THE ORIGINAL PLIERS TO TIGHTEN THESE CONNECTIONS UP (IF NEEDED).
I TAKE PRIDE IN MY MODELS THAT I OFFER HERE IN THE E-BAY WORLD. I DO HAVE OPTIONS AND I CHOOSE TO OFFER ONLY THE VERY FINEST THAT I HAVE AVAILABLE. I TEST EVERYTHING PRIOR TO LISTING THEM AND ONCE AGAIN PRIOR TO SENDING THEM OFF. I DO THIS SO WE WILL BOTH BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE END RESULT, IT'S THE ONLY WAY I DO THINGS! THIS
SCHUCO
SET 3010B
WILL NOT NEED TO BE RE-TESTED AS I DO KNOW ITS WHOLE LIFE'S HISTORY AND I AM 100% SURE THAT YOU WILL BE VERY PROUD TO OWN THIS MODEL AND WITH JUST A LITTLE
DILIGENCE
EXERCISED YOU WILL GET AS MANY YEARS OF
USE AND PL
EASURE O
UT
OF THIS MODEL AS I HAVE!
ONCE AGAIN, PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT
MY
PICTURES AS THESE DO BECOME AN IMPORTANT PART OF MY DESCRIPTION AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR DESIRE ADDITIONAL PICTURES, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME VIA E-BAY MESSAGING AND I WILL DO THE REST!

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DECLARE AN ITEM FOR .00 AND INSURE IT FOR 0.00!
IF YOU HAV
E ANY PROBLEM WITH THIS, I STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT YOU PASS ON THIS AS I DO NOT NEED ANOTHER INTERNATIONAL BUYER WHO DOES NOT TAKE THE TIME TO READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS, BUT, YET TAKES THE TIME TO LEAVE BADLY PLACED FEEDBACK DU
E TO THEIR IGNORA
NCE!
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, PLEASE READ THE VERY BOTTOM OF THIS SECTION AS IT DOES APPLY TO YOU.......
AS MENTIONED ABOVE, THIS IS A NEW AREA FOR ME (HERE ON E-BAY) AND I DO TRY MY BEST TO DO AS GOOD AS I CAN. THIS HAS BECOME A FULL TIME BUSINESS FOR ME AND I REALLY ENJOY DOING IT. I WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO TILL IT BECOMES A BURDEN AND I CAN NO LONGER ENJOY IT. I WILL BE ADDING TO THIS STORE WEEKLY (OR TRYING TO) AND HOPEFULLY YOU WILL SEE THAT I DO EXACTLY WHAT I SAY AND DO SO IN A VERY TIMELY FASHION.
THIS WILL BE OFFERED IN THE BUY-IT-NOW FORMAT.
IT IS MY INTENTION TO LIST ONE OR TWO DIFFERENT MODELS EACH AND EVERY DAY (IF AT ALL POSSIBLE), OR UNTIL SUCH A TIME WHEN I GET BURNT OUT FROM DOING SO. IT MIGHT BEHOOVE YOU TO CHECK IN WITH ME OFTEN AS YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WHEN AND IF I WILL OFFER THAT SPECIAL SOMETHING THAT WILL ROUND OUT OR COMPLETE YOUR COLLECTION!
THIS IS THE THIRD 3010 B SET THAT I HAVE LISTED HERE ON EBAY AT THIS TIME (UNLESS ONE OR BOTH HAVE SOLD OFF).
THIS IS WHERE I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN READING ALL OF THE ABOVE.
