And then... The motor housings are different too. The large nozzle machine has the housing that was used on the Heritage, without the cooling openings. But what about the serial numbers that don't seem to make sense? Any thoughts or words of wisdom is really welcome! Thanks loads, Joe

Though I've not weighed the two of them... There is a definite weight difference between the two machines. When picked up, one really notices that the "Classic" nozzle version is heavier than the trimmed down version. J | ||

If you still have both of these Heritage IIs, five years later, could you please read the serial numbers off of both of them?
The one with the old-style nozzle casting (141684S) would have a serial number ranging between X8409XXXXX (September 1984) and X8502XXXXX (February 1985), whereas the one with the slim nozzle (141685S, no BPI light) would range between serial number X8503XXXXX (March 1985) and X8602XXXXX (February 1986). ~Ben | ||
