| Above is a picture of the later model FR-50B. Note that its appearance, and that of the FL-50B, had reverted back to the looks of the earlier F-Line equipment, except that the 50B Series still had their cabinets finished in black. |

Fred Bail passed away in the late 1970's, Jim Bail passed away in the early 1980's. Following Fred's passing their company was sold to Stan Roberts of Teletramel, who continued to run Bail Electronic Services into the early 1990's from the Victorian country town of Wangaratta.
The author would
be happy to hear from anybody who has very early Yaesu equipment,
such as FL-20 Mark's 1 and 2, or FL-100B Mark's 1 and 2. By way
of some background information on the author, Greg Whiter was
employed by Bail Electronic Services (see
1974 staff photo) from
the late 1960's through to 1977. Following this period he formed
the company GFS Electronic Imports, of which he is still a
director today.
