Hmm, I had Arnquist decipher my 73, He tells me the workers sometimes drew pictures and got quite elaborate! He ID'ed some of the bits in my 73 4001.

Re: Decipher My Innards!
Ernie and John signed off on the work they did on this instrument. The letter following the model number is a batch indicator. Don't know what the other numbers mean.
