Antique Ernst Plank Steam Engine Tool Toy Workshop Table Saw Lathe Grinder L@@K

Description

This is an old antique toy workshop made by Ernst Plank, made in Germany.  This is a tool mechanic workshop, which features small tools such as a table saw, lathe, motor, and grinder and more.  We're really not sure if this one is a later model and designed to be electric, or if it was modified.  It has a large light bulb at the top and several gears that run belts to all the machines.  When we first acquired it a couple of months ago we plugged it in and it worked good, but one of the belts is loose and didn't turn one of the machines.  Now when I tested it again the power cord doesn't seem to work, so this will need some attention, it will probably need to be re-wired and/or fixed up a bit.  The workshop name has been scraped off the top and has some bends.  The machine parts all look to be there (but not positive), they have some paint chips and scratches and such but overall good condition.  Base measures 15 x 7 inches; height is 12 inches tall with the sign.  Nicely made and will be a great project for restoration, estate find.
