This box would be for the early 80's 1655 I believe





And the 78/79 sub could be this one, or the above one as there was some over lap.





Any case make sure it's the large version, as the small version looks the same, but the lid is not as deep.

Maybe Wolfgang can speak on the subject, as he is better versed in this area.

Hope the info helps.

Jeff

Jeff, Nikos has it correctly. Your last pic of the inner box is correct but the outer box top does not match, it should go with the 80's boxes. Nikos has the correct inner/outer combo, here's another pic of the correct outer box for it
