Franken 7016 on VRF?

<p>That case looks iffy to me for a rose dial 7016. Should be a semi-pointed crown guard case with a flat lug profile. Not certain this has it. Hard to tell from the pictures posted. Relumed dial too.<br />

<br />

Here are some pics of gen subs:<br />

See the difference in the crownguard's in this rear shot? Rose 7016 on left. One from add on right.</p>

<p>Compare the side profile shot of a real rose 7016, a 9411, and the sale add one. Looks like a standard crownguard profile to me.<br />

<p>Always do your homework on the rose dial 7016 if you plan on buying one. Tons of ahem....reps being sold as gen. Quickest and easiest give away are the serial # range and the case profile. If these don't match, don't buy. Plain and simple.&lt;/p&gt;</p>

Case serial # doesn't match a rep case of 737XXX. I have never seen any documented incidents of a rose dial 7016 in anything other then a I. 68 7528 stamped caseback, semi-pointed CG case. 

 

I have seen 1970 stamped caseback subs with the shield version of the rose dial. That's also in line with the snowflake dial. If it's a service dial it should be a shield dial IMO.

 

If you plan on selling, and it's in US and not Euro, might be worth the purchase price. The relume kills value though.
