GENERAL INFO

Five variations in total, 2 of them major, could be found for 65C. Released late in the E box era, it was first seen in E4 sub-type, without “®” and “NEW MODEL” on end flaps. It would retain that mention in the second variation but would also have the “®”. The last E4 lost the “NEW MODEL” and of course kept the “®”.

Two F2 types exist: one with “ALP” bottom lettering and the other, with “MRT1”.

The model, on the E boxes, is shown in its normal real body, yellow hubs, but with open step on the ladder. On the F box, the ladder has closed step.

RARITY

The F box is a bit scarcer, especially the MRT1 variation. However, none of the boxes for 65C are known as especially desirable.
