quite the feeling, isn't it??

let me throw this out there - w/ the caveat that there is rarely a conclusively "correct" answer to this stuff - my hypothesis is that NO queen mothers had the 330-type shift knob. I've seen plenty of early (67-68) queens and have never seen the indented knob in any of them. Is is possible that this...
