Build a Model Solar System Orrery

I have this assembled Orrery for sale. $90 plus shipping.


I live in Oakleigh, Melbourne - 3166.

It was collected from a magazine set and assembled over a year, about 7 or 8 years ago. I don't have the magazines or instructions any more, and have mainly been using it as a display piece / dust collector.

It comes with the adaptor for the electric motor.
The motor still works (the Sun spindle still rotates), and it features forward/reverse direction, and variable speed.

However, something has come loose and the planets not longer orbit. The gearing is all still in place and they move manually. It just needs someone "handy" to identify the correct planet that drives the whole thing (it's probably Earth - I can't remember) and tighten a screw, I suspect. It's all put together will allen keys and screws.

It cost me about $700 to collect and assemble.
I'll take $100. Can ship it for about $20 in a box with lots of bubble wrap.

Thanks for looking.
