Thread: Fischer technik

Had a bit of it when I was a kid. My sister buys it for her kids.

Better than meccano, which is just unbelievably awful - turns quality time between three generations into hell.

Not as flexible as Lego.

Apparently you can make robots.

And an automated VW factory.

It's a bit German.

well I have a ton of it that I want to sell, but know one really knows what it is or the quality. I have lots of motors gears and elec stuff...not the new computer stuff though. Mine is all 70s-80's and in perfect order.

Oh yeah - That was my favorite stuff when I was a kid - played with that more than Meccano & Technical Lego. I think I still have a bit of it lying around somewhere, but I think my son lost a lot of it over the years...

I built all sorts of stuff from cranes, to cable cars, door closers, cars, robots... The list goes on. Sounds like I had simialr stuff to you - motors and stuff, but not the fancy electronics that came out later on.

I would imagine there would be a collector out there that would buy the lot off you, but I wouldn't know how much it would be worth...

Brings back some fond memories. - Thanks.

yeah I built bridges and cranes, but the electronic stuff I have has light sensor parts etc so can be a bit more involved.... problem is I have over 3 full FT boxes that are 1 foot wide 1.5 foot long and 4 inches deep... shipping would be a problem. I just want it to go to a good home that will use it.

My young bloke is just a bit too old for that now I think - he is 13, but into the usual video games and crap now. I'm sure someone will be able to find it a home.

Ohh - I just remembered the lyrics & the jingle from the ad - "Fischer Technik - what a lot of fun - you're never too old and you're never too young"

Maybe I'm not too old to be still playing with it...

So you have enough to build the VW factory!

I had heaps when I was a kid. Long gone now though. Is good stuff !

... and invade Poland.

I'd be happy to trade it all for an early Range Rover front axle assembly hub to hub.
