New (for me) 50xx question...

[punahou80]

Received my first 50xx yesterday.

Slightly surprised to see that the case did not have the Sonic Blue logo on the right or the CA emblem on the left side of the front panel. Also, the original model & serial numbers metallic label has a small paper one stuck over it.

It set up fine, and indicates it's a RTV5 0xxx. but it looks exactly like my 55xx. I'm in the 10 day period and haven't activated yet.

Factory refurb? Other explanations?

Uhh... where'd you get it from?

What is the item number of the auction you won?

dweeeebay, where else? It's a used unit (sorry for lack of clarity if you thought it was new).

Don't know why that matters, but it's 5756821261. BTW are you mbjk0916?

It doesn't really matter, I was just curious and wanted to see if there were any detailed pictures on the auction because I was unaware that some units that actually do have CA and IVS lack those logos you mentioned. I forgot that eBay takes down the pictures (but not the text) shortly after the auction comes to a close.

So someone swapped the 5k front facia for a 55xx front facia. BFD.
