5402 .... the search
Dear Purists
I introduced myself on ths forum a few weeks ago, saying that I was looking for an AP Jumbo
I have one question: when you send your A serie for maintenance and you ask for a back replacement, do they replace the back with a new one without the ref and serial number?
I found an A serie with an AP back but no mention at all of serial number.
Thanks for your help
The search is still going on
