Original Aurora A/FX Chassis Collecting

Postby Ralphthe3rd » Tue Oct 14, 2014 10:13 am

This topic came up on another Forum: They say, that ONLY Super II Chassis had the underscore under A/FX on the Chassis ?!
Ummm...then what do I have here ? And yeah, I know what a Super II Chassis looks like, see 2nd pic...

Anyway, my previous post just Proves, that the Underscored A/FX logo isn't just on the Super II Chassis, although it is sorta rare to find on the standard A/FX chassis.
But here are the TWO REALLY Rare A/FX chassis to find/Collect...the ones with ©1970 or ©1971 Under the A/FX logo....and Note they came with Solid Rivets Only ! (Made in the USA)

The Underscores' Reason for Being !

BTW- "I" Believe, that underscore was actually ADDED later to the Old ©1970 and ©1971 molds, to cover up the copyright dates... and if you look really close at the thick underscore, you can SEE the very top edge of the © symbol as seen in this Super II Chassis pic...
