These three powerpacks came with some slotcars I bought a couple of weeks ago. The Tyco pack is original to the set so I don't need any info on it. The other two were just tossed in. I'm curious about when they were made and whether or not they're even slotcar packs. The black one is American Flyer No. 19508 and the yellow one says Strombecker. Any info is appreciated

I'd say the AF Pike-Master was for their S or O scale sets
Strombecker could be for a race set?

Strombecker was definitely a '60's era slot car set seller. I think their product was the 1/43 size,though, not HO. Might also have been into 1/24th. But that is a slot car maker.

The Flyer pack is probably from a slot car set too, since there isn't a built-in rheostat. They made some sets in their final days in the early 60's. One was so badly made it helped sink them because of the massive number of customer returns.
