[TenTec] 238 A Tuner question

[KD7EFQ at aol.com]

Hello all, does anyone know if Ten Tec made a grey version of the 238 A tuner before upgrading to the B vesion which is black only. I'm in the market for a backup tuner, but I want a grey one if possible to match my Omni 6+ station. I would also like to get away from the bar dial string design of the early 238 as sooner or later my string will break. Replies appreciated. 73, Todd
