    They may not need parts, just some lube, wheel cleaning, and limbering up. The motor is likely frozen up, but can be released with some cleaning and fresh lube.

    I have bought parts from him and he is very good to deal with. He also list stuff on EBay. Go to EBay type (fine) Mantua Parts (in) Toys and Hobbies . Lots of parts under ‘Buy Now’. Another seller is K-4 Supply Company.
