Thanks Josh - I've just taken delivery of a rather nice RP38 (non A, single tone control). It has an Elac speaker as well which looks identical to the later ones like you've probably got, only the "basket" is painted grey. It's marked 58HE/146, just like the later ones...

So, another conclusion to add to the list: Earlier RP38s had the standard no-bolt Goodmans, later ones had the Elac, but the earlier examples of this unit had a painted chassis.

Darren, just out of interest, what is the serial number of your RP38 with a Goodmans unit?

Thanks all,

Mark
