Mica or Valentino, Could you please provide me some build info? This one "may be" 4581 as it is very hard to make out due to some string wear over the serial number. It's a nice Distillate that has the "spoiler electronics" package... Thanks ChuckF | ||

Sorry Chuck, the numbers you have do not help, unfortunately. Neither 4591 ( a short scale series I) or 4581 ( an early Deluxe Stanley) are Distillates. Also instruments in the 4500 range were built in 1987 not 1986, so maybe it's one of the other numbers that's wrong. Valentino | ||

thanks Valentino, i'll try to read them again and resubmit. like in mentioned several of the numbers are VERY hard to make out due to some wear and tear on the serial number down near the bottom of the neck that was caused by string rub. would a picture help at all in this case?????.... thanks chuckf | ||

Chuck, Perhaps you have a picture editing program on your computer. You can even use programs like Microsoft Word to edit pictures: try enhancing the contrast. If you have a bigger program for pictures, you might try if some of the 'crazy' effects (like posterize) can bring out the numbers better. Adriaan | ||

What's worked for me in the past is to lay a thin sheet of paper over where the serial number should be and rub VERY LIGHTLY with a soft lead pencil. Peace, James |
