Not sure, I purchased an ms7 to match my TR5 and the ms7 had the sticky paint. My TR5 is the gray/black. The sticky paint ms7 was darker... before I made it match my TR5. Maybe the early tr7s were using the bad paint. I think there is a website that describes the differences between the early

Thanks to those who replied. It turns out that the VOX circuit is weak on ALL these transceivers. The TR7 has the same problem. I found modification posts on the www. for that vox circuit. (Although, the published mod is NOT the way I would do it.) I ran PSPICE simulations on the VOX circuit
