It's a 95. And get this: when I untangled the wires, there were 2 cords with AC plugs on the ends. And they were taped together with electrical tape. So I removed all of the tape to reveal one cord that was the power. the other cord went to the ground, antenna and local posts. Yet it had an AC plug on it. I can think of a reason (some antenna hook up system) but an AC plug literally next to the real AC plug! That aside, what a serious piece of well made furniture. And it's huge.
