Hi All again and thanks for the additional comments. I've made my mind up about what I'm going to do about this little mystery and the answer is "Nothing", I'm leaving the tape where it is untouched.

Smart move. Mystery is a good thing.

Mystery is a good thing! Still, you should shoot this to the factory PTC so they can run it up the line. I'm sure a whole company internal email would illicit a response. Some of those guys have been there a long time.

I think it is 100k, not look. 100k as in 100,000. Might be intended to document a value of resistance in ohms. Could it be a statement of the value for a volume or tone pot? Seems too low for that. Just a guess.

I wonder if it is 10 OK or LO OK. you often see this, like a QC step is passed. Maybe it was employee #10, or a name like Larry Oldman (LO)? This has been a very interesting thread.

Mystery is often far more delicious than the truth.

How do they scan those art pieces so that it reveals what is under the top layer of paint? That would be cost effective.
Seriously though, I doubt it has any significance past whatever someone needed to communicate that day. I bet the person who wrote the note doesn’t even remember why.

I looked at it closely, and I'm pretty sure it says "1 Ook".

I believe this is during the period when the Librarian from Ankh-Moorpork's Unseen University was moonlighting as QA at the PRS factory in the early 90's.

Well, that was an interesting movie that fell flat for the ending..

The next serial number made has a peice of tape under the pickup that reads "ITS".

The previous one has a peice of tape under the pickup that reads "HEY". Hee hee...

And then ANFSCD (and now for something completely different)
