looking for Ecto 2 toy car instructions/manual

I bought my son a bunch of Ghostbusters toys today, and we can't figure out how part of the car/helicopter works. There's a red button/switch below the propellers (?).

Does anyone, or could anyone, send us a scan or a link to a scan copy of the instructional manual?

That would be *much* appreciated.

Thanks!

the red switch just locks it in place , with it out , u can lower or reel in the claw or whatever it is

mine might be busted tho so i could be wrong , it is a 20 year old toy

You, DkiD, are correct. The red switch behind the propeller-pylon (for lack of a better word) locks it. Pulling the hook-spool out allows you to operate the propellors without retracting the hook. Pushing it in retracts the hook. The wings on the side fold down, and the propellers fold back. Why, I do not know.

Probably to make it easier to package; fewer bits to stick out and possibly get inadvertently broken.

Don't we see at least once in the cartoon that the wings do indeed fold up?

In the cartoon the Ecto-2 is collapsible and can be stored inside the Ecto-1.

The fold up doors and propeller on the toy reenact this (despite the Ecto-2 toy not being able to fit inside the Ecto-1 toy).

I have that vehicle toy… let me go to my mom´s and look for the box and the instructive booklet to send you some HQ scans.
