Your idea makes a lot of sense to me, Bruce. I don't know how else to explain the differences.

Regarding the red paint...could be that's all they had at the time? The trimmers in my MP VI look like they have yellow lacquer on them.

Other than the FP twist-lock electrolytic stuck in the middle of your tuner's chassis, the capacitors look original to me.

One of the things I would like to know about this is, why does your set have a metal serial number tag under the chassis while mine has a small paper tag? I'm frankly surprised the paper tag is still there. Mine has no other paperwork stuck under the chrome cover, or on the inside of the bottom chassis cover.

Please let us know what Don Hauff has to say.
