That is the "bass reflex" model, I just refreshed my memory.

I don't know the paint codes, but I do know that the speakers were silk
screened, not decal-ed or stickered.  I know one fellow (I think there is
another source also) who can have the thing completely refinished and re-silk
screened. By the way, it needs three separate silk screens to make an authentic
job of it.

I don't remember accurately, but the cost may be in the $350 dollar range.
