• Notes

• The second transistorised Bell Colt, although the first mains-powered model.  The cabinets appear to have been modified slightly at this time with the grill moved forward slightly and reinforced, as well as a slight change to the horizontal stripes where they meet the grill area.  Also there are holes in the rear to attach a back panel.  Later, speaker mounting holes would appear behind the grill also.
