I recently picked up a T-4X and an MN-4 from the eplace and my reasons 
for getting these two was the price was good ($150.00 for the pair) and 
the MN-4 is different from my other one.  The difference is instead of 
the usual front panel markings above the resistive and reactive tune 
knobs mine has a pair of roughly 3/8 wide half circles in a silver color 
and then the numbers are above this half-circle.  I assume this was an 
early style but during a quick review of the Drake ads in QST's of the 
era I couldn't find another panel like mine.  It is definitely original 
and it (and the T-4X which has a shiny copper chassis) are in very nice 
shape.

Just curious if anyone else has what is apparently a very early MN-4.
