Trying to date my 4x12 cab.

Maybe someone can help you date your Orange Amplifier?

I'm trying to date my orange 4x12 cab. I've included pictures. Does anyone know when it was manufactured? Also, just any info about the cab. The serial number 4204, and the type number on the speakers are T3577 by the way. It might be hard to make out in the photos. Thanks.

those speakers were made in the late 70's. IF they are original to the cab, there is a code on the speaker that corresponds to the year. Are all 4 speakers the exact same? What are the codes printed on the chassis?

In the first speaker picture, you can see a four letter/number code on the side of the speaker frame. That's the date code... can't read it from this picture, but write those down and post it, and we can look them up...

It is a 70's speaker cab FYI but you could get a closer ballpark figure with the date codes.

What I can tell from the pictures is the cab is an older cab.... probably pre 1976... after 1976 Orange cabs use plastic handels..... The speakers are newer than the cab and would date to the early 1980's... Hope this helps.
