Hi Mica, thank you very much! btw it is a Series I (same set up as my point body series I). What are PF-6 electronics?

PF-6 means Preamp Filter version 6. The control harness is what makes it a Series I or II, and it's not a detail that was recorded in the original records. These original records were only the information that would fit on a 3x5 index card, so the details are not very complete.  
 
Over the years, we've transferred any card to a file when there was more information to be collected, like repairs, modifications, or ownership changes.

Mica wrote The control harness is what makes it a Series I or II.  And here I thought it was the degree of transmutation that differentiated the Series I and II.
