[rymiraflores]

Hi everyone,. I have just bought a new PF500 head I have 2 questions to answer please.
1..Have most of the reliabilty issues been sorted now with these amps?
2.. The serial number is..PF500EUCPJC0008, Can someone tell me in which year it was made and if it comes into the (hopefully) modified and sorted era.
Thanks

1. Yes, about 5 years ago.

2. The only letters in that serial that could be the date code are C or J, and since C = 2010 and the PF500 didn't come out till 2011, then it's J, which stands for 2017, which is well after the issues were dealt with.
