I saw an example of frame horn stamping that doesn't look as if it got much past the paint. That number may be long gone.
The data plate is very damaged, presumably from sandblasting. I have been trying ink and polish to get some contrast out of the numbers but results have not been encouraging.
I think the serial number may be 20065x. Is there anyone skilled at reading the damaged plates that I can send this to?
Edit: Got out a *good* camera with an ED macro lens and took a bunch of photos using different light and angles.
I am about 85% convinced the last digit is an 8, making the serial F-200658. Will that get me any closer to a service number?
Thanks - Tony
