Hi,

I have a 1960s desk model of a Saturn rocket. It came from NASA,about 15/16 inches long, it has the ability to do something! I think oscillate when a switch is thrown. It is run by a battery about the size of double A ,has a meter reading on base however some wires are loose and possible damaged. The wires are very fine ( thin) indeed. The casing is cut out and made of Steel, aluminium etc.

I was hoping to find somebody who could repair and manage to get it working again. I presume this is mainly an electrical problem?

With Thanks to anybody out there who might be able to help and I am happy to remunerate for work involved.

Whereabouts are you, nearest town will be fine, as there might well be somebody local that who could have a look at it and even repair it.
