3aaa batteries= a 3 speed. (usually) there were 2-3 versions of the 3 speed. first editions were with the puffs on the side. these were replaced after 1 year. quite rare. there is another model that could be extra rare. correct me if i'm wrong

Shhhh. It is a surprise. Big Grin

Muddy I have this one now. I am going to try and find the remote I have for it and make sure it works ok, then it will be off to your vast and wonderful collection.

Ah great it's in good hands...I've been looking most everyday to find one, but the FP model is a tough one to find:/ lots of white deck Hit versions, but no FP's:/
I do remember having it at one time, because I've looked through the inside shell of that black roof to realize it was actually red. It must have stopped working and I was investigating as to why... It was long ago when Tully was just a toddler and I had no idea what I was doing as a pre-collector. I guess I replaced it at some point with the Hit version, not realizing the difference, and forgot about it:/ ...until now. Now it's driving me crazy that I can't find one new or used:/ I'll be stoked if you can find its remote and it works, and super happy to purchase it from you! Smile

Thanks, Rip

I took a look this evening and found the remote. I was thinking it was one that needed new terminals but it turned out to be ok. It has some wear in the plastic, but works fine and operates James perfectly.

I have him put back for you Muddy. Shoot me a PM and I can get him shipped out or hang on to it if you still had some repairs you wanted me to take a look at.
