Bonzo Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 A friend of mine picked up a pair of 1978 Belle's in Walnut oil, very nice! The tags on the back read 2S699 and 2S700 however, the serial numbers are not stamped into the back of the top panel? I thought all Heritage model speakers of that era had the serial numbers hard stamped into the birch plywood. Are the Belle's an exception ? Just hoping the tops were not replaced or............

PrestonTom Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Someone may have been over zealous when they were sanding prior to the finishing. Are the tops similar to the sides in terms of finish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzo Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 As far as I can tell, yes. I'm going over to his place now to get a closer look at them. Thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzo Posted November 17, 2019 Author Share Posted November 17, 2019 Well, they look stock to me and no serial stamped in the back of the top panel? Maybe the Belle’s were not stamped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frzninvt Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 My 1980 Belle's were stamped and thank goodness as the labels were gone. Probably an oversight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
