I ordered an Eagle and while I wait for it I bought an Omni VI with Option 3. Or so I thought....

It was not. The guy who sold it is now trying to tell me that it was Opt 1 and he is not very apologetic. 

As far as I can tell it may be just an Omni VI with no upgrade. When I hold the LOCK button it doesn't take me into a 1,2,3 select-able menu. I am not sure which buttons were changed with stickers. It still has a functional CLK button that changes the clock. I think that was incorporated into the menu with the upgrade. 

What buttons changed? Is there an easy way to tell if Opt 1 is there or not? The two IC's on the logic board still say Model 563. The one that says logic  is Version 2.18-150

I also obtained a 564 Omni 6+ with matching PS. It's a keeper. I've been told to keep the 563 for parts for the 564 since they are becoming scarce. 

I apologize for just asking instead of looking extensively through the archive. All that I have found so far was just describing the differences of the various options.

73,
