And thats about it, after this date, we get the change to non-magnetic cores, cores painted after assembly, and finally the dreaded sandblasted frames!
Hope this is some help -Nigel

Very good information Nigel my friend!

I appreciate you taking the time to put this together. I've reffered to it several times already! EK's are NOT my strong point, but this thread really helps me!

Usually the quality of crosses from this period is still very good!!
Sometime during this time, saw the introduction of the dome headed hinge pin, this can be a help when deciding if a cross is 50's or 60's....

So it is correct to say that crosses with domed hinge pin are from the 60's and not the 50's? I thought this was the case and posted this in another thread, but wanted to confirm that this is what you're saying also.

Yes Mike, thats what it seems, I've never seen a domed hingepin on a very early 50's S & L EK1, only on 60's pieces!!
And thanks for the kind words guys!!!icon_cheers.gifNigel
