Ya know, it came from Praybay, and I probably let my curiosity get the best of me when the mentioned these differences. I didn't overpay really and it's a great meter. Anyone could make the letters red. Probably nothing special beyond being in near mint condition.
Thanks for all the input folks. I guess I can set it on the shelf for occasional use. That's the thing with really nice old stuff; cars are a prime example. If you have a really nice one, then it becomes a trailer queen to show people that it exists and YOU have one. LOL! I know a Simpson meter is a far cry from a restored 59 Cadillac; it's just an analogy. Honestly, if I didn't have a Series 8P workhorse, I would put the old one to more regular use. I would get better leads!
I carry the 8 to work with me just to mess with the other techs who can't understand it.......
