Sign in to disble this ad
Picked up this Ampeg 810e today off a guy for $250. The cab sounds great, but needs a new caster, and needs to be retolexed. Can anyone tell me anything about this cab from this info?

The serial number appears to be BQWDN50106

if you're trying to date it, the easiest way would be to pull out one of the speakers and use the code on the back.

obviously this assumes the speakers are original.

Agreed!!!

For $250 bucks you got a helluva deal regardless when it was built!


Congrats!

Looks like May 2001.
I found this in another thread.

"Digit 5 is the year of manufacture
H=1995
I=1996
J=1997
K=1998
L=1999
M=2000
N=2001

Digit 6 is supposed to be the Month number."

I have photobucket, I just use my phone for everything. I'll post pics tomorrow, but this cab was well worth $250.
