ld point out that the person who told me about some of the early =
166
boxes was not from DBX, but was a technician that I trusted and he =

You should be in a good position to listen to the two units side by =
side.
This is really the best way anyway, particularly since many of the =
older
units are way overdue for a rebuild/recalibration.
Looking inside is not always helpful. The early VCAs are not always =
labeled.


The attached image looks generally like most of the early VCAs.

Hehe, well the guests room is kinda filling with boxes at the moment, courtesy
of being the unused room currently, but there is a guests room, and it has
a queen sized bed in it. I still need to aquire bed clothes and stuff for
it (the only doona I have spare is only a double), but yes there is a guests
room, so if you're ever in Melbourne chuck me an email. :o)

Cheers,
Kim.
