What do you make of this scribble in the trem cavity??

Can any interesting info be deduced from the codes in the shot below? It is found in the trem cavity of a 1987 USA Soloist, 2 hums, 2 vol, 1 tone, 5 way switch:

My guess:

V=Volume
M=Mid boost
T=Tone
5W=5 way switch

The number may be the work order #. [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

Yeah Stuka, plausible suggestion there. The guitar was in fact equipped with a circuit board and a 9V battery (now taken out).

Cool, my 87 Soloist has te following in the trem cavity.

SM
0966
VT3M
NAMM (upside down in texta)
Ferrari Red w/ Trans Flames.

I know what the Ferrari red meant and I guessed the work order number but never worked out what the VT3M might mean but that kinda makes sense. It has the 3 seperate swithes for the 3 pickups and may have featured a midboost but I got it with EMG's installed. I think it may have been a NAMM 87 or 88 guitar?

I will post a pic when I get home.
