Any of you Cheadle cats seen this amp?

I just found this...
I was wondering if it was my old Avenger that had the intermittent OT that got sent back "repaired" with a really bad bias job, lost bolts, 12AX7's with pins too small to be secure in the sockets, and unmatched 5881's.
The only way to tell I guess would be the serial number, I can't find a record of the old Avenger's serial that I had. That serial rings a bell with me, but I might be imagining things. To be sure though, Avengers should have nice cup washers with rubber underneath and nice chrome chassis bolts. Obviously these are under the chassis, and not in the ebay photos... The Avenger I sent back to sounds great had dirty rusty washers that didn't match the marks left by the orginal larger ones in the tolex, and rust fat chassis bolts. (whoever did the first amp repair lost the actual bolts and washers)
They told me that amp went to a studio for some use and that when they got it back from me it went to one more repair guy who made it perfect, but I didn't really trust them or care by that point... blah blah blah.
wonder if that is my original avenger! would be funny if it is!
