Picked this up in the morning. I remember playing with the spirograph as a kid. This is the Kenner 1967 version. The only problem with it is the #45 gear is missing. When paying for the spirograph the woman working there asked if it was complete and I told her its missing one gear. She told me to stop by tomorrow because she has an extra #45 gear from when she was trying complete her game.
