How mortifying!  All this while I've been maligning a whole genre, ignoring improvements too suble to notice.  I had not noticed that these things were fanning their ribs and morphing their scales as they pulled themselves out of the primordial ooze by their dog-legged bridle wires & synthetic buckskin.    :-)    I always knew evolutionary theory had some flaws!

  Hi Paul,
                  Sorry you are wrong,   243HP is an entirely different scale, Ask Del.  <G>   That model has a fanned rib configuration, plus other subtle improvements.   The 743 scale has parallel ribs two small damper blocks, vs tri damper blocks..  Oh well??????

  Regards Roger

    I agree with your last comment Mark.  However, I always thought they were 243's (or perhaps deserving of an even lower numeric designation).  From whence came this 500 point elevation?  For me, these always bore the designation of "Bald-swine".  Only redeeming feature is the lid prop -- but even that gets in the way of tuning.

      Please pardon the abscence of optimism, but I find servicing the 743's, beyond tuning, tends to underwhelm even the most meager expectations.
