Since Supers use even serial numbers they are consecutive. Standards used odd serial numbers after the Super came out in 1929. I'am not a fan of your Ballantyne soundheads either. Hard to get parts. You should be able to fine some RCA 1040, 1050 soundheads which would work great and match the year of your Supers. Dick  |  IP: Logged
