Well, why would anyone have ultimate confidence that it is the same
receiver, at all? Sans a record of the serial number purchased/assigned
to the project, there is simply no telling. Secondly, the "cyclotron"
decal is affixed on top of some chassis blemish not visible of the
historical photo. The new-looking, unmolested-by-time decal was
obviously installed some time after the blemish appeared, who knows
when. Sorry folks, this one would not pass the authenticity sniff test
much less pass muster on the "Road Show". de K3HVG
