Cal Audio Labs Icon MK I

Does anyone know about the upgrading procedures? I am looking at a used unit that started out as an icon mk I. It was sent to factory to have the powerboss upgrade a few years ago. Would it have been given the icon mk II upgrade as well? The owner says he knows the processor was updated but not sure about the icon mk II status. Reason for concern was all the transport problems involved with the mk I. If anyone might have any knowledge or could help it would sure be appreciated. Thanks,
Randy

All upgrades were by the customers choice. Individual selection was offered on all the possible upgrades, so just because a person got the powerboss upgrade doesn't mean anything else was neccesarily done to the unit.

im pretty sure that to get the power boss upgrade it had to already be a mk2. i had a mk1 and the mk2 upgrade was at least a year or so before the power boss. by the way had mine for years without a transport problem.

Thanks for the responses. Still not sure then if it is actually a mk II upgraded to powerboss status or an mk I upgraded to powerboss status. Seems to be conficting opinions. I sold the MK II i had to a friend cause he liked it so much and i wish i wouldnt have. So basically i have created this mess for myself anyways. Another move i made was selling my paradigm studio 100v.2's to a friend as well. I replaced those with a pair of VMPS tower 2's. Which i couldnt be happier with that move. So what i have for a system at the moment is:
Aragon 4004 MK II
Audible Illusions L1
Sansuai TU 717
Toshiba dvd/cd(which isnt working for 2 channel listening)
VMPS Tower 2's
Rat Shack Fusion IC's
Acoustic Research 12 Guage
Salamander synergy 40 audio rack

As you can tell from my setup i bascially like classic rock. But i should have never sold my icon mk II.
