33s Decimal Point

[Matt Agajanian]

Hello all.

I would like to determine if the 33s I have is one with the redesigned decimal point in the display. What serial number designates the start of the newly designed 33s display?

Thanks

Am I seeing things or is the top 1/4 of the bottom row of digits blue on the new display?

I'm sorry. Just what exactly am I looking for in the difference of the displays? It's very difficult to notice the difference between the decimal points in the two photo.

Thank you.

Please read message #40 for Jeff's more detailed explanations.
Notice the digits are slightly narrower in the newer display, thus leaving more room for the dots and commas.

Regards,

Gerson.

Okie doke. After reading message #40 and working my 33s, I see what you mean. Thanks very much.
