The dials and details show through the fascia to provide a nice and rather ingenious level of detail for such a cheap toy.<br /><br />Best -- PaulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-7797853827321830382017-06-04T10:32:37.923+01:002017-06-04T10:32:37.923+01:00Thanks for the cool link Paul.Thanks for the cool link Paul.WOODSYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456645970983569001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-51038331725205535942017-06-04T10:32:16.881+01:002017-06-04T10:32:16.881+01:00I don't recall them at all from my childhood A...I don't recall them at all from my childhood Andy.

(And thanks for the plugs to my website :)<br /><br />One correction: the Delaware set was produced by LP, who also sold it in an identical box with -their- trademark on it (I have a pic somewhere but where....).<br /><br />@Woodsy: The loose base station you're referring to isn't so much different as simply incomplete. It's missing the plated front fascia that's normally fitted on top of that large sticker with the dials and details.<br /><br />Hope that helps -- Paul VAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-20811836425316016272017-06-03T23:03:35.057+01:002017-06-03T23:03:35.057+01:00That's a very comprehensive response Bill.

Just looking at that loose base station I posted with the SpaceX astronaut stood next to it - it looks different to any on your post. Were there different fronts?WOODSYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456645970983569001noreply@blogger.com
