OR120, what age?

[mikel]

Just swapped my Rocker 30 for a OR120. He said it´s a early 70´s, but I would like to know more exact year. Serialnumber 60734. I´ve got some pictures here to:

Go here- scroll down to the bottom left and check dates. You need the serial number from the amp itself not the wood cabinet...

OK, I didn´t notice that it was differnt serialnumbers. Thanks.

OMI Oranges aren't my best territory, but I would think that it isn't "early" 70's. Orange started their production in '72 with the pics only. My guess would be mid to late 70's.

[mikel]

I think it´s from 1975.

By the way Mikael. Is that the Jetpak truck leaving you in the window right after they dropped the amp off?

Now when I look at it, it´s a great picture.

I know the early 'graphic' amps (or OR models) started at the end of sixties....for me,that amp is beetwen '68 and '71.

Hey,Mikel,can u open the chassis and show us the circuit board,trannyies,etc.?

Sorry,I'm wrong....I see now,that's not a 'graphic' orange amp.

[Orphin]

And even if it was a Graphic (pics only) Orange it couldn't still be earlier than '72. The earlier amps you're thinking of are Orange Matamps (Cooper Mathias Ltd.). They started production in '69. The '68 amps were 10 prototypes for Fleetwood Mac. Orange Matamps were built until 1975. Longer than most people are aware about.

[Reginald]

wow,thanx,I didn't know this...so,the early Oranges were called/labelled MATAMP..
do u nknow if exist Matamp archives site on Web,in order to see their circuit board?

[Reginald]

Well,I found 'harmony central 1.0 legacy forum'

[a.hun]

I think it´s from 1975.

I think so too, if the serial number is in the 12,000s anyway...
