In addition to the original items of question I posted in my first thread, it also appears that the crank is in the wrong position for that early style case. The case is obviously with the dimensions stated, 15 1/4" by 15 1/4", and the crank for this early cased type should be towards the front. Instead, the crank is to the rear. It makes one wonder if someone took an early case, and a bunch a of parts from other machines and attempted to make a VI that looks like non-existent Type B!!! any other opinions?
