This is what I gleaned from this thread so far.

The catalog describes 3 models.

It seems the hotter ones have ceramic magnets.

I suspect the catalog has a misprint and that the TLC60 should be an MKIII and not an MKII.

When did Tokai first start putting the PAF stickers onto their pickups? (The ones on the baseplate on the back of the pickup)

1983?

Or has anyone ever seen the stickers on a 1982 guitar?

Sigmania shared a 1982 LC110 a couple years ago with a photo of the pickups and they were all stickered.

Although I'm assuming that photo belongs to that guitar.

The serial number is hidden beyond 20 so it's impossible to compare it to other 82's in terms of age.

Any one else seen or have examples of 82's with the PAF stickers?
