I also tend to do this, I even write things down wrong at times. I once spelt 'OXO' back to front...

And it had knobby wheels and not fine tread wheels. It was also in much better shape than harveys offering. Don't worry about it, I recently screwed up a post by placing photos of a completely different model in the thread (because I confused the two different models with each other).
It might be time to start my "Bucket List."

Here is mine with Fine Thread but it is a Rentaset.

Re: 62B Radio Rentals TV Service Van w/ GPW
The Red 'Rentaset' decals are the first models and I think every type of wheel has been found on these. A quick check of Nick's guide could confirm this. The models with Green 'Radio Rentals' being used on the last versions.

Re: 62B Radio Rentals TV Service Van w/ GPW
Special thanks to a fellow collector who has provided photos of the 62B "Radio Rentals" subject van with the knobby GPW's. These are from a very knowledgeable and respected collector who views our Forum, but has not posted yet. Hopefully, this will occur in the future! My sincere thanks to him for the photos!
Perhaps if another such model comes forward, Nick would want to add this variation to his data base................
Thanks,
Bill
