Works for me.

I still like the unbound bodies better, no matter what it's called.

Esses? We don't need no stinkin' esses. :P

Well, not all "S" are RM1999, but all RM1999 are technically 4000+1 (also known as 4001S). :shock:

I agree, which is why I don't think there will be another RM1999 style reissue for a while.......

I think a Transgreen 4004 with the two piece narrow neck is just about the only one I could not resist now.....

I propose that the RM1999 and the 4008 should have honorary S status!

All those in favor say aye...

The 1986 and 1991 catalogs disagree with you:

Still, the neck binding on that is an anomaly.
