What's been done before.
I'm hoping to see these and similar chassis to be manufactured in kit form (it might have been a kit before)and be able to buy it and with wire bending template and an instructional video.
So I can bring it to my community for children to develop skills using their minds and hands,and inspire them like I was inspired as a child.

The controller heat sink & double micro switch layout both look to be items Parma sold. Are the micro switches mounted on a brass plate soldered to the controller frame? Your best bet on identifying the chassis is probably asking the guy you got them from if they don't have any identifying engravings. I would say they're all West coast cars since they all have Mura cans. Many East coast cars of that era would have Champion cans with Mura endbells.

Bill,
Look closely at the handles of the controller. It has "R" markings. Could these be some of the last of the Russkits?

Bob, I overlooked the handles. With the "R" on them,they're some of the Russkit handles.you could buy until the mid-70's, when they were changed to PARMA. I never knew if the Russkit handles were lexan or some other clear material. I had a new pair of them until about 2000 when a friend needed them to refurbish a vintage controller. I had kept them to build a second double micro controller, which still isn't done.
