Careful with the "sealed" requirement. I have bought a couple of sets from that era and the boxes were never "sealed", They feature a parts tray that slides in and out of the "cover". One had shrink wrap (factory)? and one did not. The one that did (...) (25 years ago, 17-Jul-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
