For Trade - MK2 Sled/with wiring

I still have a never installed sled with wiring harness. I am offering it up one more to for TRADE, before I sell it outright.

Anyone have any empeg related items they would want to swap for it? If so, please PM me.
Thanks

Ok...no interest...guess I'll hack it for parts.

Is it a MkII or MkIIa sled? MkII's are rumored to have used "better steel". I'm interested but I don't think I have anything interesting to trade for it.

How do you tell the difference?

a mk2a sled has the front of the sled opening bended all the way around.

the mk2 sled doesn't have the top lip of the opeing bent back properly. some say its affected operation of their player but I never have noticed a problem.

It is the Mk2a sled that had the problem with the top edge not being bent back, but it only affected a few hundred of the first batch of sleds IIRC. All of the Mk2 sleds were correctly made.

Side, by side, the two are easy to tell apart, but it is difficult to describe them. If you have a sled with the top edge not bent back then it is a Mk2a sled. Other differences are that the Mk2 sled was made from nice solid stainless steel, with the edges and corners all nicely smoothed over. The Mk2a sled was made from mild steel (IIRC) and had sharper edges and the solder joints on the outside weren't smoothed down. I'd be able to identify what type it is from a photo.
