Yes mine is a 64 but meaning The 62 model... But if it's regular filters in a hilotron cover, as you mentioned earlier in the thread, which model would these covers come from and how have they ended up on the Gents from this particular batch? JBO

Congrats by the way...

I have a 90's relative to your brotherhood...

Hey guys and thx for the warm welcome. I couldn't get the pics working, but now I have in another thread. Hope you find it... JBO
