I definitely did not drink but when I saw a red tip!!!

I have I mentioned it already in another thread: The red toggle switch tip is probably a white/cream one that is faded red on the very top of it. I've seen this already a few times on other instruments (guess the 4001 in question belonged to a lady with red coloured fingernails, who constantly used the toggle switch for vibrato effect...???). I guess a possibility would be that some inner red lining of the case coloured the tip of the tip.
