Interesting that your panel is marked 5M5, but the one in the RM is marked M55.

Is it just me, or does the printing on Vince's back panel look a bit home-done and blurry?

Maybe they changed the model number or they had a batch of backs printed and made a mistake.

UF41, UBC41 (from RM).

That back panel is repairable using bits from others if you have them. Several how tos on the forum if you search.

Looks like a case of DAC90itis!
