love it! I've never seen the display. I wonder how many older shops have those, just with the Tyco stuff covered up? I'd really like to have the merchandise display that's seen in the Tyco '76 catalog.

It's certainly authentic to the brown box era. That wood veneer just screams 70's.

| Is there supposed to be a Tyco sign or something that fits in the slot up top? Wow! I saw one of these once, in 1983 or so at a LHS. I wonder how rare these are? How many could still be around today after they were originally sent to dealers, then chucked out the back door after some time or when the shop closed. Lets say by the late 80's and into the 90's, I wonder how many average HOer's would've cared to buy or get one once the dealer decided he wanted it gone?
