804A could be accurate John. Also, there was a model 844 monitor that preceded the 9844, the few examples i've seen in the flesh or photos of had all green components including the 414's.

Thanks to David Yost for mentioning the Carmels. At the time i posted i couldn't think of the name. All i could think was "the Altec that's just like the Heathkit AS21".

I think Malibu's and/or Carmels could have been manufactured during part of the time the 804a was in production.
