Vintage Scalextric 1957 1958 Model 01 Slot Cars Working Box Manual & Transformer

Description

This listing is for a nearly complete Scalextric set. - to see cars running go to YouTube:  https://youtu.be/-5Pv8Y3wEQM
SET INCLUDES:
Box (shows wear and repair with packing tape)
Manual
2 Cars
Track, complete
4 guardrails
Original lubrication bottle - empty
Controller (not working)
2 Eyelet Wire Connectors (2 are missing)
Transformer (not part of set)
Set works when track is connected directly to the transformer, bypassing the controller.  The controller is in good condition.  I do not know why it is not working.  I just don't want to open it up and do further damage.
All parts have been cleaned and the car engines have fresh oil applied.
Overall the cars are in good running shape and the drivers and steering wheels are intact.  The drivers are removable.  The cars move nicely around the track at variable speeds.
Super fun to watch and play with!!!  Would make a great Christmas gift for a racecar enthusiast or collector.
