Re: Thrift store find - vintage Baldwin amp
The 4 date codes i can find on the caps are:
- 6430 (one of the Sprague caps) 30th week 1964
- 6613 (another Sprague) 13th week 1966
- 6608 (one of the big multi-segment cans) 8th week 1966
- 6626 (the other multi-segment) 26th week 1966
Speaker date codes are 551 (51st week of 1965) and 611 (11th week of 1966).
Looks to me to have been built in the last half of 1966. probably around July/August.

Right, but these beasts simply don't show up in Europe.
