The technigold had a gold housing, hence the name ;) but you're on the right track: apart from that the construction looks identical.
Graupner was selling one of these : same 540VX or whatever it was number. I think I still have the gold can that would fit on this somewhere in the basement I believe.

I looked through at all the common possibilities (Optima, Ultima, Frog, Hot Spot) and I don't see these?



Edit: I figured out the arm, it's a back for the Red Ultima.

there's actually at least 2 versions of the red-ultima rear arm. I don't have mine anymore, butI remeber the cut-outs in the arm were a different shape or orientation the arms I saw ont the cars from other members here.
