Paranoia / AYK - Info Needed

Post by Y'ernat Al »

From what I can gather, Paranoia was a Japanese company. They made original diffs, spur gears etc... I even saw some C Hubs for an Optima after searching this board. J.M. had a thread of some different parts but all the pics are gone.

Anyway, I have these:

By Bison on the card, I have to assume it's for the AYK Bison. That's confirmed by the period correct brass hardware. But what's interesting (to me at least):

1) The bodies are threaded. Pretty innovative in the early 1980's.
2) The header card is unlike the Paranoia I'm used to seeing. I guess this is an early product (if it's the same company obviously).

3) the yellow color of the header card would confirm the theory that the company execs were Kinks fans?

Just wondering if any of you old guys (like me) have anything to add.
