Paul,

Yes there is another tag that says RBA2.  The jury is still out on what the
Field Change #3 does to it.  I'm sure it added weight!

Thanks!

I believe it's an RBA set.  Hang onto it.  They are out there, but don't
seem to show themselves as much as the RBB and RBC sets.  Maybe one day
I'll
find one to place along side my RBB and RBC.  Talk about Radio Row.  I
would
have to build up the foundation under my shop on that side of the building!
