4/2/2023 0 Comments Organ serial numbers![]() ![]() ![]() My guess for early '67 is based on that all the date stamps I found are late '66. I'm the third, possibly fourth, owner of my G101, so I never met the guy who originally had it, so no idea on when it actually/supposedly bought. I can't imagine that they ever thought they were making "classics" that people would actually care about 40+ years later. They - and Lowrey - might have simply reached into a box of serial number plates and slapped on whichever one they picked. From what I've heard, Vox never cared enough about serial numbers to use them sequentially. The other possibility is that these are like Vox organs. (And the buyer's memory might be faulty, too.) ![]() It's quite possible your organ sat in a warehouse or a music store for a long time before it was sold. On the serial number, these weren't exactly the hottest-selling instruments ever made. (The K-101s never had them, and neither have the lowest serial numbered ones I've seen/heard of.) But your serial number is higher than AFOF's. My theory was that the large logos were added at a certain point in production. Just for the record,mine is a Gibson, not a KalamazooĪctually, I'd say the opposite: Yours doesn't make sense logo-wise, but very well might make sense serial number-wise. The original owner insisted that he bought it new in 1968 which makes sense logo wise but not serial number wise Mine is 5049, does not have the logo and never did (no holes) Quote from: pianotuner steveo on February 08, 2012, 06:24:47 PM ![]()
