AD30 single channel serial number...

Post by Fabulusfab777 » Fri Aug 17, 2012 7:29 pm

Hey guys,

I've posted in the community forum but I thought it should be asked here. My newly acquired Orange AD30 single channel was believed to be a 1997, but then I learned they started making them in late 1998, so to clarity, here is the serial number in the back: AD30H-1070-10-02

As others have mentioned I will have a look inside just to confirm but can someone tell me just from this what Year/month it was built? It looks like Oct 2002 but not certain.

Thanks

Should be interesting to see what's inside. Sometime in 2002 they moved production from the Trace Elliot factory to a new facility. Your serial number format suggests it was made in the new place so it probably won't have the Trace inspection sticker.
