I just picked up a great deal on a Twin Reverb, and I lost my notes on putting a manufacturers date on one.
Looking at the back of the amp far left, Heres the transformer #'s.L022756 606-6-04
The little tranny:022699 606-5-45
And the center tranny: 022889 EIA 606-642
Anyone recall the fender codes?? |

Sorry Greg, I forgot to include the chassis# B 20746, the only # stamped on the back of the amp on the right side, by the hum balance.
This is a Silverface with mastervolume--100watt series. I doubt it's earlier than '71 which was still nonmaster. '72 seems when the master v. appeared. Just trying to narrow it down. |

some more Twin serial #s
B01000 to B15000 - 1975
B15000 to B68000 - 1976
with B20746, looks like you've got a '76 and it would follow that the tranny codes above are '75 and '76
