Just got what appears to be new old stock PS2 Flyer steamer, cataloged in 2000. Put it on the track to see if the battery would charge, but as soon as I applied any voltage, the AMP meter pegged. Did a little tinkering and determined the rear pick up, when compressed upward is short on something, most likely the axle. Put some tape on the back of the pick up and tried again. No movement on the AMP meter now, but no light, no nothing. Would this be consistent with a completely dead or defective battery? The price was great so I'd rather not have to return it.
thanks
Steve
