Just picked up the Lionel 282R Gantry Crane. Can not get the magnet to go up and down. Also, the Crane easily comes off the base. Does anyone have a repair manual that shows all the parts and how they go together? Would like to get this fixed before Thanksgiving when the grand kids show up.
Thanks, RAY

Found it in my Greenburg's book. I will copy it an mail it to you. Mike
Maybe this will help"
Thanks to all that sent info on the repair manual, especially Mike D. Got everything up and runningEXCEPT:
the hook/magnet moves up and down automatically when ever I move move the crane cab from left to right. I can move the hook up and down with the controller and turn the magnet on and off as well. Just wonder why the hook moves up and down when ever I more the crane cab left or right.
What should I be looking for?

As you rotate the cab it wraps, or unwraps, the block string on the drum. Just the way it works. You need to swing the boom some then run the block up or down, taking turns.
Got it and it makes sense just didn't think about that
Thanks,
RAY
