My next shift is this coming Tuesday and I'll check for them if you are interested.

Yes, please!

I have installed a 500 from the 70's for now, and it works well enough, so I will be picky about the lettering, but I still want the earlier one (like on the photo). Dirty is fine.

I don't need levers, though, unless they have "weinmann" hoods.

Thanks!
