NotesThere appears to be at least two cosmetic variants. The variant for this entry displays the model number, PSS-480, in large, teal-stroked text above the center LED displays, with no "Music Station" logo. The other variant prominently displays the "Music Station" logo, with the model number below it in smaller white text. Some of the rubber buttons have different colors between the two cosmetic variants as well.
