Oops! Thick fingers, tiny keys... 1999 would be more correct!

Hi gang!
Must have been lurking for years....
I've been using the MarkVI frames since '92 and they fit as fine
as my old original frames into my #1599 M400. So, from my point of
view, You have picked up a rumour somewhere...
I'll try to stay out of the lurking darkness from now on. :-)

Hello Lennart,� How is it possible you are using the Mark-VI frames
since 1992 ??�� The model commenced production in 1998 with
Dave Kean's announcement and initial manufacturing in the USA.

Oh dear, yet another correction....

When digging around in my old papers I see that MA must have 
manufactured tapeframes since '92 and these had BA-thumbscrews 
attached to them. When the MkVI saw the light of day and I ordered yet 
a tapeframe, I was asked if the frame was supposed to have BA or M 
screws depending on whether it was going to run in a M400 or in a 
MkVI...
