[Key2871]

Hello, im looking to find the differabce if any on the Harris Dracon TS21 butt sets with differant color shells, yellow blue. Blue and light blue etc.
I remember someone telling me a differance in electronics or in function etc.
Is there? Just courious, because i
I was offered a  set with two colored housings.

I think that is the TS22. It looks more squared off than a TS21.
I don't have one of those ....yet.

[Key2871]

Yea thats not a 21, not even a 22 looks more like an AT&T set..

 No i didn't, but i didnt see any information as to what differant color indicates.

Here's one...

[Key2871]

There we go, thanks Paul. Id forgotten what the differant ones meant. No differance other than cord sets and ground start.

[paul-f]

No difference other than cord sets and ground start.

I looks like there may be some difference in models with -01x, -02x and -08x suffix codes.

It would be interesting if someone wants to take the time to dig out the details.

[Key2871]

I agree, but this is at least a start. The one i have is red yellow and it looks like any other set ive seen before but i can't tell what the differant colors mean.

[Key2871]

From research ive done, with little help from the internet, i find no specific info on colors. Its nased largely on the numbers at the end of the model thst denotes the cord set type, and ground start or not.
I was thinking there must be something to the colors.
But i dont find anything on that.
