I have located a uned MW2145 to buy (purchased in 1998 from WW/BW) and I thought I'd ask a question as I am confused. I know that MW was having their valves outsourced to two different companies in the early 90's which caused some confusion. Here is my dilemma. The horn I'm looking at has the finger buttons of the big valves that are pictured on MW web page under FAQs but the valve casing caps look to be of the earlier type however the valves themselves measure out to be the big valves (over 32.5mm). This is confusing to me. Do you think that MW used a mix of parts for a while. I don't have the horn in my possession but by looking at photos and talking to the seller, and this is what we have deduced.

HELP!

Thanks for any information you all can provide.
