Yes. These must've been quite a gift in the day for a teenager. They play really well. They were $48 in 1958. That's like spending about $500 today. I guess you can say like buying a basic iPhone today.
Also - thanks John - I've done detailing all my life on these old sets and this one gave me quite a challenge! I actually went back 3 times before I was satisfied. The ridges of the graphics wear down to nearly nothing so you have to mostly paint fee-hand. I used toothpicks to clean-up the excess. You have to have a steady hand and a lot of patience.
