Steve,
The s/n is the indicator. The rotary switch is not really an indicator
at all - for instance, my GPW s/n is 192600 (April 44) and is currently
fitted with a rotary switch. Take the switch out and check the back of
the dash for any burrs (especially the top hole for the pushbutton latch),
this will idicate the hole has been drilled out for the switch (as mine
has been).

Steve.
