Hi all! new to this forum, and fairly new to Orange amps as well, although I've been curious for some time. Anyway, I recently bought this beauty: http://flickr.com/photos/22488102@N00/s ... 005879389/
However, the seller couldn't tell me the year it was built. I have looked around at orangefg and other places, but haven't found anything. Does anyone have an idea?
Info about the amp:
<ul>
<li>Plexi front w/black background for the crest</li>
<li>Serial 0039</li>
<li>Model number OR120</li>
<li>Preamp tubes on PCB</li>
<li>been painted black, but I'm patiently removing it now </li>
</ul>

Plexi OR120

Hi again. It's definately a plexi - see the photos at the end of this post. What's puzzling me, is that I find some things atypical, and that they don't belong to the same time period, but that is relatively common, I have heard.
Anyway, what I find a bit strange is:
<ul>
<li>Model number OR120 (72->), but still a plexi (->72)</li>
<li>PCB-mounted preamp tubes(suggest late 73->)</li>
<li>Atypical serial number - 4 digits. All sources mention 3 or 5 digits</li>
<li>Never before seen (by my eyes) black crest background</li>
</ul>
