My 16808 I can never take off

Took an interesting photo today, and thought I'd share. I still stare and marvel at this masterpiece every single day!

I have one of these as well. Can you tell me when you bought it and the approximate serial no. I bought mine in early 1974 but the serial no. (314xxxx) makes me think it was produced earlier.

Do it! I really want a blue sub, too. But think it might be overkill to have two pm subs...
