I just acquired an FRG-7 off of ebay and it arrived today. Its in near mint condition and sounds great, aside from the volume knob needing a bit of dexoit.

However... it appears the unit I have is a VERY early model. It has no fine tuning knob! Serial number 6i-0602330. Are these rare? I would rather have one WITH the fine tuning knob, but I never realized until now, that some of the early runs did not include it. Do these "no fine tuning knob" variants carry any more value to collectors than the later ones do? I'd much rather have a newer version with the fine tuning and better filters that came on the late runs.

Thanks!
