It sounds as though you got a LOT of value for your money. I would recommend that you put a Limbsaver "Stabilizer Enhancer" (part #03013) in the 'upper' and 'lower' threaded-inserts (on the back of the riser near the limb-pockets). This will help absorb vibrations in the riser and be especially helpful if your riser is the early version Avalon. Good luck with your Avalon, I hope that you enjoy it as much (and for as long a time) as I have enjoyed mine. - John

It'll take most any ILF limb. Lancaster is a good source: http://www.lancasterarchery.com/
Usually there's either the sticker that says it's a Plus, as well as a '+' sign engraved in the limb pockets. I don't think there was ever a mix where it wasn't labelled.
Alternatively, you can call Hoyt and ask. They generally have pretty good records.
If you post a picture, I might be able to confirm/deny. I use to own both and was planning on doing detailed comparison, but never got around to it. I did take some pictures that might help with IDing differences.

Is this a 23"? (I'm guessing it is, cutout shapes don't match the 25s)
And it looks to be a regular avalon, not +

Yep. 23"
I bought it to build a hunting bow. Now I'm rethinking that decision. But, as old as it is, if hasn't cracked by now it is probably ok. Wanting to go to about 45# otf.
