The earliest T10-1C aluminum case I've recorded is from Dec '60, so all the 1960 model year (and early '61) T-10s were also iron cases.

The ballast resistor shown from Zip's catalog is not correct. The originals have a square tab at the top of the bracket. I just don't have a good photo of an original to show.
