AW: [Jukebox-list] Re: Could a Jackie-style bargain be coming my way?

[Stamann]

Hello Ian,

from what I know the "U" is for Universal Pricing Unit and the "R" for Receiver. 
So you should check if the receiver (for use with a wallbox) is there.

Also it seems that some letters are always stamped in later. I saw that on quite a few id plates.

Kind regards - Hildegard

Ian,
it's that Juke-a-holic disease grabbing at ya!  I don't think I will ever be cured.
