Please help with acronym watch condition at Jones & Horan "Click" to Login or Register 
posted May 04, 2015 13:57
hello all, I was looking at the Jones and Horan site. Can't figure out what the reference to "many/some MFS" is in the condition report. It has to be simple but I give up, I just draw a blank.
Thanks in advance.

Regards
Rick

Many thanks Ken. I had thought of fine scratches,my thought "many/some Multiple Fine Scratches" was redundant for sure. Micro never entered my mind.
Now I can sleep. thanks agaib

Peter, how thoughtful of you. Thank you for the courtesy. "RPBM" would have made me suicidal trying to figure out that one. Have already printed the list.

Regards
Rick
