I MIGHT have some. MOFOCO once tried to sell them to me as "universal" but I 
balked. I don't remember I had to keep them or not.

We very seldom see the paint marks after all this time, but I THINK I have a 
manual somewhere that indicates that the marks, if present, should be 
staggered. My impression is that the parts were brought into some tolerance of 
balance and then the heavy (or light) side was marked with paint.

Russ, what do you remember about this?
