Hi Donn
I put that unit in storage in preparation for the move last weekend so from
memory I think it is a winged emblem.  The KWM-2 is in front of me and I
know it is a round emblem.
The only thing non-original with the 30L-1 are the feet, somewhere along the
line they were misplaced after changing finals a few years ago.
I can find out about the emblem later this afternoon.
TNX
Stan
