Hi Gary:
 
yeah....it sure sounds interesting. Somewhere on the case should be numbers 
 which tie it to Hohner (just are there are on the back of the black 
cases)? 
 
Also - it wouldn't only be a matter of cover plates...but the silverplated  
mouthpiece as well which is an integral part of the Super 64.  Take a good  
look at a Super 64 online if you don't have one and then compare it to the 
one  he's offering.  IF he's selling it for less than $100 you're getting a  
steal if it is indeed 'brand new', is clean, doesn't have any mildew or 
stale  smell to it, you can look down into the back and see the valves lying 
nice and  flat, and the button functions nice and smoothly.
 
Hey, if you aren't interested - let ME know. I'd be very interested  :)
 
Much luck.
 
Elizabeth

Hi,
The red cases are from when they were first  issued back around the early 
to mid 70's until they began using the cases  they've been using since about 
the mid to late 90's. The locking latch used to  snap apart really easy, 
just as bad, if not worse than the snaps on that cheap  plastic "leatherette" 
cases they used to have on the 280's. Did he say it was  brand new and 
unplayed???

Hi All
Just a quick question.
I've  been offered a Super 64 brand new but in a Red Plastic Case. This is 
something  i've not seen before
as the two I currently own both came in the Black  Plastic Case known by 
all.
My worry is that this harmonica is not  genuine.

The case appears to be along the lines of a larger version of a  Golden 
Melody Case.
I challenged the vendor and the response I received is  that the Red Case 
came before the Black Case??

So I guess what he is  offering is NOS (New Old Stock).

What I don't want to buy, obviously, is  an inferior 64 (a Swan for 
example) wearing Super 64 cover plates.
Can  anybody shed any light on this please?
Many  thanks
Cheers
Gary
