<br />Seems like the Orange field guide is down at the moment. Are you sure it's from '71. I didn't think Orange made their own amps that early..?

I'm not sure someone was saying it was an ORS 100 on another site, but from what I have gathered the ORS only had 2 EL84's and I have 4 so i'm pretty sure it's a or120. It looks exactly like the 71' OR120 from the 71 catalogs.

The Field Guide is indeed down. Hope it'll reappear somewhere. Have posted a ? for Geert over at the Plexi Palace forum.
Meanwhile, the Orange timeline is still online.

There has never been an Orange model called ORS, nor one with two EL-84:s. Though mine is called OR ST with two EL-34:s, but that's an Orange Matamp.
Yes, you're right. It's probably as early as '71. Weren't those called GRO100..?

But the timeline is full of errors. It doesn't prove they do exist. Has anyone seen one?

Look what I found again, via Google:
Orange Amps Field Guide
(Can't seem to get the PP forum right now but thats another matter... )
You're right David, they are EL34 amps.

<br />i envy you, bclair! tell me, how did you begin to afford all of that?! blows my mind!
<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">
been at it for a while... bought my OR80 head and the two 4X12's when prices weren't so crazy... $400 each for the cabs and $350 for the head.
A lot more for most of the rest....

Yeah not that long ago you could walk into a used music shop near me and pick up a vintage orange head or even a Matamp for £250, this was about 1999. I remember seeing loads that weren't shifting. I had my pick. I bought myself a Matamp GT120 for that price. Though I sold it not that long after buying it for the same price. I thought just having my Orange was enough at the time. That was stupid, very stupid. I'd give anything for that amp again.
I got news that the Orange Amp book might be released at Musikmesse in march now. Can't wait.
I also know something that some of you really want to know and I'm not telling.
