These are very early units, probably prior to 1960.  They are the 112th and 113th made.  The "b" suffix in the model number may mean they are the "starter model" which came with no midrange  or tweeter, just a 12" woofer with whizzer cone.  While that would make them "rarer" than most, obviously the performance is a step down.  I can look them up on Monday.

212 and 213 were shipped 17Feb1961.  They are the 112th and 113th units shipped, since serial numbers began with 101.  The driver complements were the same when shipped, and included the K-22 woofer.  If they now differ, it had to be an update or repair.

 

"New style" is noted in the logbook.  I believe this means they no longer have the grill cloth on the sides of the cabinets.  If that is incorrect, please let me know.
