17th April
Late 1964, a detail of a shot of Dick Denney demonstrating the Guitar Organ in the main R&D room in 119 Dartford Road, a Vox T60 chassis at left. With the move to grey panels came a new type of chassis, a row of ventilation holes on the underside at front.
T60 serial number 815.
10th April
An even earlier instance of a T60 in a shop in the "provinces": Gamlins, Cardiff, February 1963 - amplifier section with two 2x15" cabinets, the format initially advanced by Jennings.
February 1963.
6th April
One of the earliest adverts for the T60 from a shop outside London, Yardley's, Birmingham, May 1963.
25th March
Entries for a further five T60s with copper panels have been added to this page - serial numbers 474, 505, 508, 509, and 588.
20th March
Pictures of serial number 1989, a late amp with "AMPLIFIER" at the head of its plate, have recently been added here. Further examples of grey panel MT60s are on the way.
20th January
Thanks to Roy, pictures of T60 serial number 304, black panel, probably second quarter of 1963, have now been added on this page.

The page on the early history of the T60 has been set in motion here. Additions will be signalled here (on this updates page) as they are introduced.

1st March
The page on T60s with black panels has been rearranged slightly and updated.
28th February (3)
Some more on the Vox Transonic on the way. For the time being, a rough print picture of Peter Jay and the Jaywalkers published in "Melody Maker" magazine, August 1963.
The Transonics, just in view, have four control knobs. Note the T60 bass in beige.
28th February (2)
Just to add that the T60 speaker cabinet that now bears the serial number plate of T60 amplifier number 248 (black panel) cannot have been the original as it has black basketweave vinyl. Basketweave seems to come in with the first T60s with copper panels.
28th February
Three more amps added - 676 (copper panel); and 921, and 2041 (grey panels). 2041 brings the picture to late 1967 / early 1968. T60s were still being advertised in the United Kingdom and Germany in 1967. The new range of solid state amps, introduced in early Spring, gradually pushed older models (aside from the AC30 and AC50) out though.
27th February
Updates are now in progress. Thanks to Jake, serial number 664, copper panel, has now been registered; and thanks to Ash, serial number 721, also copper panel. On the black panels page, the serial number plate of 248 has been posted.
Serial number 721.
6th February
After a longish period of inactivity, the site will be underway again soon - a good number of updates coming.
