After an email exchange with the seller, he finally told me this is a Model 505. The power switch threw me. So in the first message, I told him he had either a Model 513, 514, or 515. He then sent a message back indicating that the original power switch had been replaced. In a second email, he finally told it is indeed a 505. However, the headlight trim is throwing me now. I guess the headlight cover must have been modified to accept that style trim. Then there's the issue with the belt lifter. IDK.

I emailed the seller and asked for some additional photos of the handle grip and bottom. The handle grip (as you would guess) is red. The Sani-Emtor tray is gray. Would the 505 tray have been gray? But the thing that concerns me most is that the model plate is completely missing. Plus, I didn't see the screw holes for the Bakelite wiring junction that would have been below the original power switch. Maybe they just weren't clear in the photo or were covered up by the new switch. I kind of think the seller may be trying to pass off a new model for a 505. It's hard to tell without the model plate.
