The red one is a 505 and the first of the 500 series Abu did in the 60’s and the gold one is the 503 and the second in the range . I’ve got a few of each and also got a few 506’s aswell .

You can date it by undoing the screw you can see in the picture and taking the side plate off . There’s a 6 digit number on the side plate like this in one in the photo , 097100 - 09 being September , 71 being the year and 00 being the original version . If it had 01 or 02 at the end it would be first or second revision . If you’re planning on selling it the 507 sells for more than the others so don’t let it go too cheap 1 Quote Link to post
