David,
I'll answer these Masi questions later this evening. I just happen to have an "employee" Masi in my shop right now for repaint. I spilled coffee on my keyboard Fri. and haven't had a minuute to get a new one until now; and now have some catching up to do with my email.
I've got some interesting info regarding serial numbers.
