If he is correct in that it is a Crass model(and it is by the number or screws and their position), it might require closer inspection.

Guess this proves that eye witnesses can NOT be trusted to see some things as it really is.LOL Best, John Humble member of the League of Extraodinary Gentlemen (LEG). Joined 14 March, 2006.
