I picked up one with the box last year, I believe they're Unicomp made and fairly recently, around '97ish?

This one says maxiswitch, so same as the black m13's that I've seen. Not sure if unicomp made m13's or if they were just made by  maxiswitch.

I'll check mine out when I get home, maybe it was the beige m13 that was unicomp. I'm pretty sure one of 'em was.

The earliest M13-I's are Maxiswitch, then production switched over to Unicomp in 97/98.

I think $200 for this is a complete steal.  Seller likely could have gotten twice that with little problem.
