Hi
Heres a electric raceset made by Paruna scientific toys. Some say the set was made before ww2, some around 1947. There seems to be only around 4 sets known to exist. The car is diecast & slotless with 2 brushes in front to make electrical contact. The track is handmade of wood,either brass or copper,& a circuit type board. I dont think very many of these sets were ever made. The track made an oval with 1 side raised so you could add another set & have 2 cars racing.

thanks,
Bernard

Hi,I finally found paperwork establishing the year Paruna was made. We now know it was not pre war but 1949-1951. Up until now some thought this French set was made in the 1930s.This paper work should solve the mystery surrounding this rare & unusual set.

Im sure Don can better describe the paper shown here. Thanks,Bernard
