GENERAL INFO

Released in 1966, the first box for the 64B was a NEW MODEL E3 box. The box itself show the model in dark green. This box was soon replaced by a lighter green model box, still in E3 sub-type. Then came an E4 box and finally an E4R one.

The model was also released in F1 box, with ALP bottom lettering. Two variations exist with different end flap closers: blank and “TM”.

RARITY

The dark green E3 NEW MODEL box is a bit less common. F boxes are also hard to find. None of those box should considered rare.
