Does anyone know how to tell the difference between the new Mk II Maz 18 and a prior Mk I Maz 18 that has been updated? I'm looking for a Mk II on Reverb and Ebay and the "updated" amps appear identical to the newer amps (except the really older one's have a different looking logo). I want to find an amp that was originally built as a Mk II. I already have an older Mk I Maz. I think Dr. Z came out with the Mk II about five years ago. That might be one way to tell but I'm not sure whether Dr Z dates the amp as of the update when he does it.
Does anyone know if there is any way to tell the difference between the two by looking at pictures of the amp online?

There should be a white label on the back panel of the chassis that says MK II

It looks like both amps have that label. So I guess you could advertise an updated amp as a "Mark II" amp and no one would be able to tell the difference(?)

Dr Z has the serial number codes by year on his website. If it's 2018 or more recent, it would be MKII from the factory. Anything before that would have begun as an MKI and had the mod.

That's because there would be no difference really. But post-2018 is a factory production MK. II. Pre-2018 with a the sticker would be a factory modified MK II.

There must be some overlap. I have a 2019 Mk I.
I think an updated amp will have a MkII sticker whereas one built originally as a MkII will have that painted on. That seems to be the only visible difference....
