| Most of the Model I's made
by BAL-AMi were of the manual select (spin wheel) variety, and
in pink. Some electric select versions do exist, but these
were probably imported from the US and simply rebadged, with
appropriate electrical conversions for the UK market. The
example pictured has had its sides painted in rock 'n' roll
pink - the standard colour was charcoal.
Several BAL-AMi I200Ms exist with the
turquoise cabinet, but strangely have a pink diffuser and cap,
which makes them look like a hybrid. Quite why Balfour didn't
fit the "correct" turquoise components is not known.
The standard pink/charcoal configuration
for both UK and USA versions of the I200 looks like this:
The USA (AMi) version of the turquoise
variant looks like this (note the diffuser and cap colouring):
The UK (BAL-AMi) version of the turquoise
model is slightly different - note the pink diffuser and cap:
