The reason why I ask is because of this shipping label. It's attached to a shipping box that a seller used for some Celestions I recently bought. If Misco is an OEM builder for you-know-who, then maybe their production line speakers are pretty good?
83stratman, you might have a R7 that actually started life as a R9 that for some reason got pulled from the R9 line before the finish stage. My avatar is an R7 from the same era. There's ways to check for flame under the gold. Had a buddy refin the top on mine.
The Haynes mod is so simple to do on your own with any stock SLO. Just unsolder one leg of the bright cap on the lead channel's gain pot. Don't like the tone? Resolder the cap leg. Like It? Either pull the cap out completely, or cover up the cap leg that's up in the air with heat shrink and let...

Yup. Paul Sr. came up with the idea, built the jig, and mated it to a belt sander. 10" long pivot rod attached to the nut end, 16" long pivot rod attached to the heel end. Then he angled the belt sander to match the plane. Simple, consistent, and fast...whips out a fingerboard in about 12 seconds.
