Hi Byron. I think that P.O. numbers are really only for sales & marketing. On the line they used broadcast codes, so the P.O. number wouldnt have mattered. Do we know how many (if any) XU-1s or L34s left the factory fitted with the alternative (rare Edited by user Thursday, 15 May 2008 9:15:06 PM(UTC)
