From what i understand mine is the first known one under number 10, i could be mistaken on that though. My first thought would be maybe the first 5 or 10 or normal silver/black that we are more accustom to. Who knows, but yes i do know a majority of the first 250 are chrome chassis with black grill.

Yes mine is a weird find, considering the shape it is in the guy that owned it before the kid i got it from took care of it. Probaly original owner and thought at $950 he was doing good compared to what he paid for it back in 1992. What were the prices of recto's back in 92?

Siggy,

No harm taken. I still consider yours to be a rare anomoly and a new discovery instead of the truth. As i said, from what i have seen and have been told, they were all chrome in the beginning.
So far yours is the first below 250 in black. Honestly, it is a needle in
a haystack. Quite the rare find.
