ما توصّل إليه النقاش
- The original Merlin models with the signature feature came equipped with plastic rings inside the gimbal until around 2008, after which production shifted to metal versions.
- The gimbal ring type can be visually identified by examining the interior of the gimbal - plastic rings will be visible as black components, while metal versions feature ball bearings.
- Merlin units without the signature marking are likely to have metal gimbals rather than the earlier plastic design.
