New Lincoln Question

[hank_612]

I picked up a new lincoln in the box at a cb shop that had been closed since 05. It has weird knobs and I was hoping someone could shed light on why.

Serial number is 9950067* . My other lincoln starts with 89 and was made in 89 so I am assuming this is much newer.

Can anyone tell me when it was made and what is up with the knobs?

Looks like the indicator lines are red but the knobs look normal otherwise?

Very pretty radio - I'm sure everyone on the forum will be making you offers

The lincoln isnt for sale. She is headed to doc and will be my base. I have been looking for the right lincoln with a chip to e my base for a while.

The indicator lines is what I thought where weird. I have never seen red lines on the knobs before. I ask doc and he hadn't either. That is why I am asking for info here. Surely someone knows.

re

obviously someone painted them on there.

In Poland some owners are using white paint for that.

Did it come in the Factory box?
and was it already converted?

factory box everything wrapped except the radio which had the chip installed. I have trouble believing that it did not come from the factory with the red lines. The paint is to perfect to be done by hand.

The red adds a nice touch. I dabbed in a bit of white-out on my old 2510- all I did was paint the whole knob and then wipe before it dried, leaving the white line in the recessed portion of the knob. That makes it much easier to see in the mobile.

Great find, enjoy it!
