1978 1132-4 NOT marked as matrix

Mine states nothing of the sort. It's serial#083019 and the sticker states that it is an 1132-4 model but nothing about "matrix". Any ideas? I'd be happy to send pictures if that would help.

Miles has one of the original Medallion ones. Mine's just a little higher serial number than yours, I think. Welcome to the club. Too bad you missed our jam in Mt. Vernon a couple weeks ago.
