(replace as123 with as[your flight num])
However aircraft swaps are frequent, even up to the last hour.

Aircraft swap around so much (especially with Alaska Air) that noone really knows much until 24 hours out and even then there are a lot of changes in the last 24 hours.
There are some services which show the log of the events related to leading up to the flight and you can see those equipment swaps that you normally don't see because almost all are the same type. All it takes is a little delay somewhere to change things around. With Alaska's hub-out-and-back scheduling, swaps at the hub are common if a flight is late returning.

Meh I was looking forward to checking out the new Y+ on RDU to SEA tomorrow but being at the top of the upgrade list isn't bad with lots of seats open.

The FAs from my flight from RDU-SEA said they had one the day before. Said first had tons of leg room. Y+ was basically like having an exit row in terms of leg room. I was a little disappointed not to get to fly on it but I'll take the F upgrade any day.

If you click on the links on the N-numbers in the wiki you can see some of the flights the aircraft are scheduled on (for now)... see if they line up with your upcoming flights. I imagine as that list grows it won't be an ideal way to determine if your flight will have one of the new aircraft
You can also use flightstats.com and look at the event timeline on the day of your flight to see what tail number gets assigned to your flight. Compare to the list in the wiki and see if you won the raffle
N525AS -- 10/0?/16
e.g. This looks to be scheduled for 10/1 now RDU-SEA...

Another way to find these planes
https://flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/N528AS
Just change the last part to the aircraft, if you want to know the tail number use the following option.
https://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/as123
Of course changes can happen based on mx and wx.

I guess Alaska doesn't want to publish photos and info on the website yet until they've gotten enough planes retrofitted and begin the new Y+ soft product.

I think N551AS is next. It flew into RDU yesterday afternoon and then the same type flew out to GSO 90 minutes later as AS9420 but I can't find confirmation of the tail number.
N525AS is doing RDU-SEA on the 3rd so it must be done.

Maybe it's just the angle of the photos, but I honestly don't see much difference....your knee looks very close to the seat in front of you which it basically how it seems now in F....did they actually change anything in F or was it only Y that was positively affected by the reconfiguration?
On a side note, the breakfast looks great....it's nice to see a fruit plate without that spicy red powder sprinkled all over
