Maybe someone can help you date your Orange Amplifier?

GREAT amp! Nice score....
Have you checked out the Orange Field Guide? It will help with info... as would the Orange book.

I'm very late to see this one. I can only see two of the pictures now.
The Ormats were only three models: ORST (2 EL34, 50 watts), OR100 (4 EL34, 100 watts) and the OR200 (4 KT88 I believe, 200 watts).
I remember reading that the OR100 did push out a bit over 100 watts, but not as much as 120. More like 107 or something, but why would that matter? It's still too much for pretty much any application today.
With a serial number of 300 it was probably made around '71-'72.
The amp is not a prototype, those were made for Fleetwood Mac in 1968 and were all disassemled after the US tour. Mat Mathias had a book where he kept record of the amps but rarely filled in the info. I've actually scrolled through this book myself and I'd say that about every 10th amp had notes about them.

I'm speaking out of my a$$. Yours might differ.
