That is sick. Somebody posted an old Orange catalogue on here a while ago and it had that in it. I wonder how a valve PA would sound?

i understand that Orange made PA units in the 70's but is this real one of those, it dose not look like an Orange chassi among other thing's that don't seem to match up with a 1974 unit, there no piping around the head sleeve and not only dose it not look like an Orange chassi but i believe in that year the internal chassi itself should have been orange in color to.

That doesnt look like an orange to me....my first thought was a early to mid 70's Laney Klipp or Sound City PA. The wiring tends to indicate it isnt Sound City...they were far better layed out than that amp. It appears to be british made judging from the components....likely one of the smaller manafacturers. Definitely not an Orange though....Orange PA's looked like an OR120 with more inputs

Those are my catalog scans in serial numbers. From 1973 catalog:
From 1971 catalog:
I have never seen an Orange PA that looked like that. The sleeve looks right-ish but could be a repro. The faceplate is definitely NOT Orange, just a piece of sheetmetal with a logo attached.
My best guess is, it's not an Orange.

I don't know what you initially wrote to that guy, but it seems like he's got something to hide with that attitude.

That's a pretty terrible fake... It definitely looks like the Sound City PA layout from a catalog I was recently looking through. (I currently have an early 70s Sound City L100W on my bench at the moment).

What is that old saying "The best defence is a good Offence". If he has nothing to hide he could just show a picture of the serial number and I am sure the amp could be traced that way (at least I think they can date most amps by this but not sure about amps of that age)

If it is indeed a fake is there some way to get the auction removed because this is essentially fraud and I'd feel pretty bad for any poor sod that buys this.
