what kind of time was the od120 in production for? how old is it roughly speaking, as a model?

I think the Overdrives were from about '76 to '78. My 120 overdrive is a '78. Then there were the '90s reissues, first very similar to the '70s ones, then later modified as the 'OTRs'.

There was also a rather different looking 'Series 2' Overdrive, made towards the end of the old Orange companies production period, possibly for just a few months in '78. They look pretty different, and I'm really not sure how many were made - probably not very many at all. It was the earlier one, like mine, that was reissued in the '90s.

Anyway, have a look at Geert Jacobs site:
