Congrats and well done for perusing it, people give up too easy these days.

Are the red dials the same as white but just red lettering? If so, do you think they make them to order rather than sending stock to local centres? Might explain why some service centres think they don’t exist, ie not in their stock maybe?

If this is the case, surely you could pursue almost any sub restoration with the right contact at HQ?

What amazed me was the amount of people that thought it was such a bad deal in the first place, I thought these red subs were silly money? One guy even said “send it back, there’s a store near me with one for $5500” over here you wouldn’t get a beaten normal sub for that.
