Serial Number 21077534 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: I believe it's not six positions but six
adjustments. This would probably be 3 positions,
heat, cold, isochronisp perhaps??? At least it's
marked 3P in most databases, so I believe this was
in fact the correct option. Six adjustments does
not mean 6 positions, anyway, BWR had eight :)
