When was it made? Are machine heads correct?

[peterupnorth]

Hi all, I have recently bought a lefty Silhouette Special, serial no. L99143. When was it made? Where can I get genuine machine heads for it as 5 have Pearl grips and one has a chrome grip for some reason? They are all identical locking machine heads apart from the grip. Which are the correct ones?

It was made on 4/17/98 The chrome tuners are stock. They are made by Schaller and I bet they would sell you the correct ones.
