Guest LoveRhino Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 So at a garage sale today I stumbled upon parts of an electric race car set emblazoned with the name AFX in yellow on blue. I never knew this was the source of the name. Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/87010-afx-the-original/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herr Jan Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 This one right? I doubt it's the original source for the name though, more like a nice coincidence?

Also i remember old cassetes (that he send as demos to labels) had something afx in the name of manufacter on it. Could be from there.

Guest Rabid Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 I remember when this was the top YouTube result for AFX. Looks like it got reuploaded or something though.
