Hello,
Today, I picked up another C58 Delphi and noticed it's a bit different than my first. I have a receipt dated 1968 for my first one, and it was sold used back then. The one I just got, has a metal ID plate with the model and serial number on it. Also; it has two slotted cutouts in the center section of the 6" wide backboard, a few inches below the top. My C58 bought used in 68, has no metal plate, and no cutouts on the back.
Does anyone know when the cutouts were added, or removed, and if all the C58s had metal ID plates?
Delphi sold used in 1968: No metal plate, and no signs that one was ever on the cabinet. No vent cutouts on the backboard. Back is stained dark, near black. Inside is stained brown.
New Delphi: Metal ID plate. Cutouts on backboard. Light brown stain on back. Walnut veneer on inside panels and bottom.
Can we date these buy the differences?
