What's your vote on the better soundheads, not just for performance but looks as well.
The 1A or 206A ?
This would be set up more as a novelty with 2000 ft spoolboxes and carbon arc.Paul

If you want a good looking and sounding WE Sound Head look no further than the TA7400.

The 1A and 206 do not fall into the good sound head catagory at all. They don't even come close. The model "A" and model "T" were not very good cars either.
I'd also vote the TA-7400 as the all time best sound head ever built. Amazing for the time period and nothing has been built to this day that is as good. This sound head would be comparable to the old Lincoln V-12.

I like the 208 myself it converts to stereo ok, but yes the 7400 is the best rear scanning sound head made, almost totaly silent and as smooth as silk.------------------
