I have owned two extremely unmolested Sprites that had the yellow on them.
One a Bugeye and one a Mk II Sprite. Also a few of my more molested Sprites
that had it also. I guess some were stock that way.
I remember back in the mid 80's there was a fellow in Maryland with an
extremely nice OEW Bugeye and he had the yellow tips and the Judges actually
deducted points and he threw a serious fit over that. I think some of the
judges now recognize that as stock in a restoration.
