Alps - Door Robot

This in the 1950 build robot by Alps has an original name: ROBOT, but its the small door in its chest that makes this robot famous and therefore better known as Alps Door Robot. Build in Japan in 1956 this somewhat strange robot belongs to the top 5 of most sought after robots. Its controlled and powered by a remote control with 2 buttons. The first button makes the robot walk and shows the lightshow in his mouth. pressing the second button makes the robot stop walking and his head starts to rotate,showing all kind of colours and spinning antennas inside the clear dome. But for sure the nicest feature is the door which can be opened and gives access to the robots mechanism. Its also handy to replace the bulb :)

A complete door robot is almost impossible to find. but you found one here....  This example is in excellent condition with only minor playwear. its complete and comes with all the original parts, the original door, hands, dome, remote and even the original box with inserts is present. A very scarce robot in this complete and original condition and best of all, its in 100 % working condition.

There is no rust, no dings and the robot works perfect. The original box has some wear but the most important part, the top that shows the artwork is displaying perfect. The box and innerparts show some wear but is still strong. The box need some corner repairs but I leave that to the new owner.

If you are ever looking for a fresh example of this robot icon, the look no further. A rare robot in original box, with a scarcity of 10 out of 10
