Just got word that I will be getting a sound clip of the from the owner. I am SO glad because it got setup and out the door when I was gone and I didn't get a chance to see or hear it- I am very curious. I do know that Bruce agonized over that inlay...
I posted pics of the 1995 & 1996 price lists on the Flatiron Group's site.
We're dying to know the answer to this question. Take the poll on our FaceBook Page...it will be up for a few months.
We had the question recently about dating a Weber/the serial number and I had a really hard time finding it, myself, in our website's FACTS section, so I moved front & center. If you've never been to the FACTS section take a look as there is lots of good info. Weclcom suggestions and we're slowly updating it too with inlay, binding (next), etc. pics http://www.soundtoearth.com/faq.php
