Isn't that what I said? ;)
Thanks for catching the typo.
Here are the best pics I've found online. Mine is an FDF-60, and
copyrighted 1975, but I think the difference is mostly or all cosmetic.

Of course, those E6B's all look alike to me. ;^)
So, E6B is a type designation, right? Not a model name? I can't find
any info on the FDF-60, so I don't know if the "1975" has anything to do
with its age. Very cool little instrument, though.
