it looks like this replacement model wasn't coated with wax like the original. RCA copied the improved design from aftermarket manufacturers or they just sourced them? The box says "made in Mexico", see the pictures below.

The wax is inside the red silicone outer cover, and coats the outside of the "tire."
Looks like you got one of the last batch - RCA stopped production on the 113382, 113392, and 119834 in 1983 - your date code is 82244, late 1982 production. I worked at Cain Electronics in 83/84 and we offered both the RCA 119834 and the FLY312 for the 38/39 chassis. When RCA dropped the 119834 ( it still appears in my 1985 price guide at 71 dollars dealer net), Thordarson was close behind. Great find - they are rarer these days!
