I have an 858 version (two front buttons) that I could live without.....
That's something else new that I've learned today . I've never had a Washington , but I didn't know there was a 858 version . Thought they were all MB8719s . I'll maybe look out for one for myself

There were 3 SSB President radio's that had the second 858 chassis in them.
The first chassis no. was PC-176 which I believe was short lived and I think the only SSB radio with that in was a Courier.... a Spartan I think.... someone will put me right I'm sure....
The second SSB 858 chassis was the PC-196, and I'm pretty sure there were only 3 Presidents with this chassis... all known as the"early" versions.
They were the Grant (AM/SSB and only 3 buttons on the front instead of 4), the Washington (AM/SSB and only 2 buttons on the front instead of 3), and the Madison (AM/SSB and no AWI light and Vol and Squelch on the same knob).
The Adams came later, with chassis no. PC-346.... which I always thought was the last 858 SSB one, but I have a Stalker 202 base which has an 858 in it.... but is chassis no PC-353.
I've searched for a schematic for the Stalker without any luck, so if anyone has one I would really appreciate a copy. I have the Adams service manual, but I would like to know the difference between that and the Adams.
Unfortunately I dont think SAMS have one.... or at least I couldn't find it...
Apologies for the long-winded post.....
