Primary strings are very legible, but other symbols are often incomplete:
- sideways "2" is top and bottom only, resembling C1
- sideways "D" or "C" are similarly broken, resembling small [ ) or ( )
- the ᕋ is likely to be an inverted 5 missing the upper stroke

The primary strings follow the 1960's-1970's pattern of UK Decca Studios, which closed in 1980. By that pattern "G " is identified as mastering engineer Ted Burkett
