• Documentation: Includes the crisp, original red-and-white training lesson manual/booklet designated for the 6WW course level.

• Packaging: Ships inside its original cardboard mailer box.

CONDITION DETAILS:

New Old Stock (NOS) / Unbuilt condition. The electronic parts are still factory-secured in their original layout positions on the cardboard backing under the protective film. The printed training manual is crisp with vibrant color. The exterior cardboard mailer shows light storage wear and age-related cardboard toning consistent with a 70-year-old paper collectible, but it remains structurally solid. Due to the vintage nature of this item, components are sold as-is for collectibility and historical display.

Ships quickly and securely packaged to protect the fragile components and the original box. Please see all high-resolution photos for exact cosmetic details. Let me know if you have any questions! Happy offerding!
