[Hammarlund] FW: time capsule SP-400X (Bob Young)

[Bob Young]

Those knobs on that HQ-129 and the SP-400SX in the video are different than the ones on the SP-400 that was for sale and on the one right in front of my face, the white line on that SP-400 was only on the pointer part of the knob like the one I have, on the HQ-129 and the video it goes from one end to the other, maybe later SP-400's had different knobs?
