This is interesting http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7338060587&indexURL=2#ebayphotohosting .
Don?t know if seller (?Hiro?) knows this info from his own research, or if he?s partly copying our old discussions from this forum (he uses same criteria that we emphasised, eg double-ring tuners & inked numbers ? that makes me think he?s at least partly influenced by what?s been said here). But note the circuit board & inked number (also the tuner buttons which are more ?pearloid? looking than typical early Tokai). He says pups are ?original Tokai?, which is confusing since a 78 Reborn would originally have Gotoh pups, but ? I?ll email him and ask a few probing questions :-? .
