I have my original starter set KS-7. KS-7 was an Alpha starter set before 1972 then switched to Alpha III for 72, 73, 74. In 1975 for the Alpha III set, the KS was dropped and it appears as 1406.
Mine has an orange pad and controller but the Alpha or Alpha III are long gone and I have no face card. Any help is appreciated. I was wondering if the kits in these were bulk packed without facecards or were they regular kits, and does anyone have pictures of a complete KS-7 Alpha III or Alpha, and is there any way to further date them?

Thanks

Anyone?

I have an Alpha III starter set but it's sealed in plastic. Nothing on the outside tells me how the Alpha is packed.

I also have 3 versions of the Alpha III.

One has the a black and red face card.

The other has a yellow and white face card.

I also have a bulk pack of 12 Alpha III's

I would think the bulk pack version would be appropriate for the launch set but that's just what I'm guessing.

Would love to see an open complete KS-7 if anyone has one, even a shrink wraped one would be cool to see but I don't know if they were.

Here's an incomplete KS-7 that I have. Note that it uses non-chromed Citation Quasar plastic parts.

Looks like I have a couple of KS-8 starter kits downstairs as well.
