AIR DEFENSE CENTER - CRAGSTAN (MAKER?) - JAPAN
A tall red lithographed tinplate battery operated console with radar screen and flashing lights.
The 1962 Sears catalog advertises this toy: "Radar scans sky.. warning lights blink.. missles fire! Air Defense Center is busy with action.. has rotating antenna and radar scope; winking lights; moving air speed register and altimeter. 3 rubber-tipped darts. Steel, 12 in. long."
Large oval rotating antenna. The box art depicts a military scene but the actual toy resembles the Masudaya range of similar control centres.
