Old Rear Ported Cornwall History - S/N 269

[Frzninvt]

Looking for when Cornwall either S/N 269 & 270 or 268 & 269 left the factory.  I guy that I know just purchased the pair off eBay after I alerted him to their rarity.  They are in beautiful shape, the walnut finish and cane grill work look amazing for being 60 years old.  They were located in and around Eugene, OR presently.  Thanks Jim!

269 and 270 were shipped Dec. 28, 1962.  No notation of their destination.

so, when was the change over to the front ports?

[JRH]

The first one was #228, shipped May 2, 1962.  However, the configuration did not change entirely for more than a year.
