When did higains have button tops and when did they phase this out? Also, when did they stop doing X bracing on the 330's?

from my observation the buttons came in around 73-4...
high gains switch from flat button top to formed button tops happened sometimes in 1990
my 610/12 from 89 still have old style flat button tops, a year later bobbin has those two lines/noodles on left and right from the buttons as we see on recent high gains with hex adjustable "buttons"..

IIRC, the end of X bracing was around `84 or `85.
