Just purchased this Melz from Ukraine for $50. Now I’ll have a backup as I only have one.

Are those photos at the seller's side or already received at your side ??

The mica structure seems to differ from the copy I have, (mine seems thinner with three prongs on each edge). The paint on mine is nearly gone. The date barely legal ..oh..I meant barely visible .. (D5)?
