Question for all you M400 owners out there. Have any of you seen/owned a tapeframe
that appears to have 3/8" Fluon guides(whitish Teflon colour)  in turnbuckles? JB
told me
this was very early when tapeframes  had S/N's ( as they now do from Streetly).
If yes, please share that with us. My original tapeframe with these is #120 . The
20th frame??



Some of you who attended the September 2002 Workshop in TRONto may recall I was lacing new tapes on two frames, one of which has the Fluon guides and MkII-style bars, not screws, that hold the tapes in place.  That particular frame has TF141 etched on the top front.
