Got a nice Tyco Model A, but the pick ups are a bit mangled.
Since a quick fix does not suggest itself, seems that swapping
out the whole chassis would be my best bet. McGuyver I am
not. Problem is, when I look up Tyco chassis, there seem to
be at least two dozen variants! What should I be
looking for?

| I never had Tyco slot cars until I put this layout up. I know there are a couple or a few different chassis. As a kid I use AFX cars. I have yet to study about the different chassis' and parts that fit.

Have a picture of the chassis?

This is the seller's picture, the pick up shoes look like they got bent at some point.
Maybe it's an easy fix. It is a Tyco piece, that much I am pretty sure.

Tyco Pro chassis. Any wide pan chassis will do. HP2, HP7 and440X2. The Pro originally had buttons, but, it was common to make makeshift wipers.

| Thanks. Hopefully I can retain the narrow tires.
