Yes. I know for a fact that the early versions of the 129-X had considerably 
different dials than the later versions. Although I am not certain about details, 
I believe that there was at least one other change in the dials during its 
"career".

I also vaguely remember a discussion here some time ago (several years?) 
which dealt with this or a similar question. I think it may have related to 15 
meters, but am not sure.

Perhaps, if there are archives, you could search those.

I also remember seeing a seller on eBay who offered new dials for the HQ-
129-X, but he also wanted the serial number of the receiver in order to send 
the correct dials.

Are there any markings on the dials which would usually NOT appear in the 
windows, and which used very small type?
