Serial Number registry?

[chilldog33]

They are ~1972-73.

In my Sovereign's the wood is oak. The large flat areas (top and sides) are veneer on chipboard. The profiles are solid.

Hello All,

I've added my D1005 to the registry. Thanks for the work you've done. It's been very interesting learning the history here.

Paragon serial number 504 is in Honolulu...I think they were 1968?

i just recently picked up a couple D208s.. serial no. 48547 and 48550. pretty close together..

they had some splitting in the paper cones, which i repaired from the underside with some diluted weldbond white glue and thin napkin paper. very minimal mass added, and is holding nicely.

i am wondering if there is any info to date D208s in the serial no. registry?

cheers,
marc

Hi,
they cannot be dated very exactly but seem to be between the years 1965 to 1969

a view to the registry shows that they were made around 1962.

the in the wood punched numbers in the back side of the topplate will be from interest..... I guess numbers around 395.

thanks for the input.

Thanks

thanks for that info

just today picked up a pair of JBL Trimlines. the LE8T serials are 34227 and 34280. pretty close together.. have you got an approximate date for them?

thanks again,

Hi Marc,

the registry shows an time gap of about 1983-1984 for this numbers

Perhaps a different set of serial numbers?

Purely looking for Trimlines in JBL catalogs, it seems 1967-69 would be a more likely manufacture date.
That and by '76 the catalogs show the move to Northridge from the Casitas Ave. (Los Angeles) location.

Hi Grumpy,

I was looking for the drivers numbers, like shown in the pictures....maybe someone changed the drivers years later.

HP

[grumpy]

right. that's why the manufacturer location on the foilcal has me puzzled a bit
if the S/N range for those drivers would normally indicate a mid '80s driver
(still using 10 year old foilcals at the time? I'd guess not)

[HCSGuy]

LE8T's in the picture havd Alnico pots - the LE8t had transitioned to the LE8T-H by the end of the 70's...

[Harkness]

curious.. the foilcals don't show any signs of manipulation to my eye..

they are definitely alnico magnets.

here are more numbers from the rest of the system:

PR8 serial 11949 (has silver dust cap)
C54 Cabinets 69152 and 69154
