OO1 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 On 1/16/2023 at 10:04 AM, JRH said: . Not sure why a few "buck the trend". it could very well be that , depending on a lack of stocks of 12 inch woofers , 15 inch woofers versions of the shorthorn were simply swapped to fill back-orders and so ,exceptionally a few speakers with the W22 networks shipped with 15 inch woofers- the example being Serial nos 993-994-995 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, what was this sold as 786 I know it’s loaded correctly for the speaker config and has a W2 network. 33? Or 22? And if I haven’t said it Thank you everyone for providing all this info. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRH Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 #786 logbook entry says: S-M-2.15; E.V.; W2 It shipped 6 Nov. 1957. No idea why it was "inspected" 3 months later! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for digging into this, I’m completing the purchase of 995 as we speak. Oh the color of #786? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRH Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 All I can discern is that it was mahogany. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Krupp Posted February 5 Author Share Posted February 5 Could you tell me what was the total cabinets made? I’ve heard the serial numbers started in the 500’s and I thought I saw 666 was a total, last serial was letters and numbers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Krupp Posted February 9 Author Share Posted February 9 This then brought up another question, do you know the split how many 12” cabinet vs 15” cabinets made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRH Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 1E166 was the last recorded serial number, so 666 in total seems to be correct. At the beginning of the logbook it says: "Began giving serial numbers to assembled Shorthorns both decorated and utility. Started on 25 Jan 56 with ser. # 501". That COULD imply that un-serialized units exist. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
