Looking at it again reminds me... what's the switch for down at the bottom edge?

The purpose of the switch on the model 16 changed from AVC enable/disable to bass boost in later versions. According to this service hint only the code 121 and 122 had AVC function.

According to this discussion the 16 chairside is either a code 123 (5 bands) or 127 (4 bands) chassis. I can't quite make out the code # on the chassis sticker from the eBay auction - but since it has a horizontal power transformer I believe that should make it a code 127 - and in fact 4 bands.

Either way I'm going to say that switch is for bass boost. Icon_smile
