They look pretty early, curved spoke gold 414Z, green 806A and of course the green 811s from the photo.Quote:

I should have realized from the green horns alone that they're "844's".

Note that spec sheet is from 1965.
Just for giggles, check ebay over the course of a few weeks and see what a great investment you made.
You know when i was posting that spec sheeet I came across the 844's and wrongly thought it was another typo...:redface2:Quote:

Looks like what they probably did was eventually add the prefix "9" to the models designed as monitors, purely a guess on my part though.Quote:

I THINK the change came with the angular frames on the 414, it got new frames in the 60's where the 15's changed some 5-6 years later.Quote:
