Orange Amps Forum

Hi all - my first post!!!

Have just unearthed my 4 x 12 cab after 10 years in hibernation, and have found your great site here whilst looking in to the dateing of it.

I bought it from a second hand music shop (long since gone!) in Coventry in '92 and was a little tatty but cleaned up pretty well, good and solid and just what was needed to compete with the drummer!

Label on rear says:-

Orange Music
3/4 New Compton St
London
W.C.2
SER.NO.L.S. 7582


It has G12H speakers with Rola Celestian etc etc printed on a gold label on the magnets.

The codes vary between AL30 and BL17 (with T1217 on all), which has lead me to think 1978 from your links to a list to check from - does this sound correct??

Have no intention of selling, particularly as having just acquired a new Gretsch archtop to play through it, but curious to the sort of value, if any, of this old faithful.

Cheers

Crispo

OK - Apologies!!

Just chewing through other posts and have now read 'Buying/Selling/Talking prices on the forum info...'.

Suspect my 'value' question fall into this, so please ignore that part of post - ta.

No, asking about the value of a vintage piece of gear is OK... it's mostly current gear prices that are verboten.

My advice is always to follow an ebay auction for the same thing- since value varies by location, demand, etc.

Thanks BClaire. Any thoughts on my dating attempt?

Your dating attempt is probably right on the money. Going by the speaker date codes is usually the best way...

Cheers Pal - enjoyed your Cult cover by the way
