Just curious, when did they change frame color from orange to black on the 7100 series.

I have a 7116 that was built in 1987. not sure if that was the first your or not but it has the black frame.

My 7112H also comes out as an 85' and has an orange frame. Serial# 003204.

I think my 7119 is an 80 or 81. I think it's wierd how little they changed over the years.

So what color is yours, Rich? I don't think I have ever seen a black painted frame! Tom

My 7116H has a black frame. I was told it was an 82 when I bought it. I will see if I can find a number on it to double check tomorrow.
