gernot Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Hello Martijn, nice to hear from you, its been a while. That picture of the robot is amazing, I am sure it is made in Germany, but I have never seen it completely in red color. The version I have is having black feet.So your sample might be a pre/run (first series run) - Wow! Attached is the picture of my sample which I got about 10 years ago on a boot sale in Frankfurt-Germany! This might be another great find in Holland - respect !

Morbius Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Xris, where the &%^$ have you been?? I was sure you'd had some horrible accident...robot boxes or, worse yet tin 'bots falling on top of you and trapping you for an eternity until some robot hunter type showed up to rescue you by lightening your load in your reserve. I seem to be looking a lot lately at the Robby-type piece you sent Kelly a few years back, still love that little guy. Laurie (wife of Morbius) and *Altaira say a big HELLO along with yours truly. Great score Martijn, we never know what's hiding away out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

9tobor9 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Barely !!! I literally drove here from the hospital, where I gave birth to a Moon Rock, straight out of me left kidney, by natural way !!! O exquisite pain which plainly let you know you're still alive, believe it guys !!! Wauuuugh with a Kapital W. Robotwise, nothing's much coming my way, nowadays, just found a golden Konehead robot from France, made in 1907 way before the word robot was ever uttered. Quite astounding !!!

Dirk Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Yes - I explored the same robot many years ago in a house in Switzerland. But the old ladz wouldnt like to let go. But it was possible to take a picture. Not sure about the maker, but it still has had its original box! XRIS - good to have you back - we missed you so much !!! BTW - Somebody been able to tell us more about the maker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
