A lot of questions, there.

NEIL, the sockets were introduced in 1956 for the Model 8 (MkII), the Model 7 (MkII) and the model 40 (MkII). They coincided with the introduction of new movement magnet blocks.

HYBRID T, the serial number for the Model 8 (Mk V) is on n adhesive labels, usually one inside the battery compartment and one along the right hand side of the case.

TIM, beware: the Model 7 is only 1000 opv while the DIV2 button is held down. At rest it's only 500 opv. Still a beautiful beast, though. For completeness, the Model 40 is only 167 opv (333 opv with DIV2)
