Svt classic serial number question

[devinmasters]

Can anyone tell me what the year on my svt head is?

Given that it's a 10 digit code, it's likely an SLM-era number which should conform to this scheme:

Post-1984
The modern Ampegs of the St. Louis Music era were all made after 1985. The amps made since 1988 have a 10-digit serial number which is encoded for model, country, date, and year. The serial number can be broken down as follows:

Digits 1, 2, 3 = Model

Digit 4 = Country Code where:

U = U.K.
D = domestic U.S.
W = worldwide
Y = Europe

Digit 5 = Year where:

A = 1988
B = 1989
C = 1990, etc.

Digit 6 = Month where:

1 through 9 = January through September
0 = October
A = November
B = December

Digits 7, 8, 9, 10 = serial number

Since the Loud buyout, they use a 17 digit serial number following this pattern.

Can't be 89 since the SVT-CL wasn't being made back then.

Yeah it doesn't really match the slm code as P wouldn't code for a month. Not sure what's up there? Pictures would help. I couldn't remember if the svt-cl was 89 or 95 (20th or 25th anniversary) but as jimmy said, they were released in 94. Like I said, some pictures might help us narrow down a time-frame.

This is the only picture I could find in my phone. I'm nowhere near my amp so I can't take a close up...

Thanks,

The serial number as you typed it seems to have an incorrect year and month. Is it possible that your number is BJNDPB0034? That would mean it was made in December 2003.

[JimmyM]

Definitely looks like it was made more recently, like in the last 10 years.

[devinmasters]

That was actually exactly correct!! Thank you so much!
