Eddie - no fluted sides - though I think it did have simulated
stainless steel (SSS) sides once. The shot I picked up today should
help, as it is a 3/4 end shot - so it shows the end and the side
well. I'm trying to think if anyone made the sides in N - it seems
to me that someone did, in a laser plastic. It will take me a little
while to get it to you, Eddie - I'll explain off-list.
