[Central-Electronics] 100V and 200V differences?

Another significant difference is that the 100V has four separate steel sub-chassis which are bolted together and interconnected by multi-pin, flat phenolic connectors to form the entire chassis. The 200V is built on a monolithic chassis. I have a 100V and it is particularly convenient to separate the power supply chassis, which I did, to update caps, rectifiers,  etc. But other design updates in the 200V may make it desirable.

Same basic rig … with minor differences;

The 200V uses SS rectifiers; the 100V tubes.
The 200V has a nicer, smoother 2-speed VFO drive

The 100V includes two function lever switches to select voice or carrier cal signal; line voltage; watts input; amps. There were deleted in the 200V. None of these functions are particularly useful. (i.e., you won’t miss them).

I would choose the rig with the nicer cosmetics! It can get expensive refinishing the front panel and/or cabinet.
