Ideal 4648-2 Sensor Station Box Front |
The 1970 Ideal catalog introduced two boxed accessories - presumably these were offered up as a replacement to the now missing Zeroid Commander Action Set and Zeroid Action Set, which seem to no longer be offered. This version of the Sensor Station came in a box similar tot he Missile Defense Pad. The Station itself is molded in blue, rather than the usual yellow/tan of the Station that came in the Zeroid Commander Action Set. Also the antenna is yellow instead of blue with silver paint; and the dish is red instead of yellow.
Note that the Sensor Station can only be operated by Zogg as it requires Zogg's electrodes to transfer power for operation.
Packaging:
Closed box with painted artwork details on all four sides.

ever-alert warning system. Measures 11" high and 10" wide.
