Ampeg SVT-VR USA vs Korea

Here is how to interpret the speaker codes:

67 means that it was made by Eminence, it is an industry EIA code
06 is 2006
32 is the 32nd week of the year (August 7 - 13, 2006)
0277 is the serial number

86-032-01 is the Loud part number for a 10" 32 ohm speaker

So you have a 2006 speaker and a December 2004 speaker.

Similarly, there are date codes inside your amp. You can look at the stamped numbers on the pots and on some of the components as well as the boards. Take the latest date and add some lead time for manufacturing and you can use this and the serial number to estimate the manufacturing date.

I forgot the other code: 10324A

This is the Eminence specification code. This is a reference to the technical specs and details of the product. It begins with the size of the speaker, 10 is 10". Send them an email with this code and they might provide you with the info.

the OSB cab has served me quite well...

People talk about the sonic differences. Be careful not to drop these type (OSB, chipboard, or particle board) of cabs when moving them. They can crack a lot easier than plywood. I've had the casters punch through the bottom.
