Re: Let's see your AMP!
On the bottom there's a serial. Mine is I believe something like 7A-......, which means it's from '77. All described in this post.
And BTW, one of the most awesome and loudest amps ever. Period. Did an outdoor gig with it a year back or so and the volume didn't even have to go past 15%.

Mid 70s Traynor YGM3

Recapped with big blue F&Ts, adjustable bias added, splashiest damn reverb I've ever heard.

Re: Let's see your AMP!

The only issue with this ridiculous mountain of crap is that I can't fit the fridge cab + my wife in the Jeep at the same time. So I have to choose one or the other for gigs.

Re: Let's see your AMP!
I've had the cab for a bout a month and was rocking a Classic 50 head, but finally got my CR120 about two weeks ago. The more I play it, the more i like it. I wasn't sure about the dirty channel, but have found a setting i like. Still, mostly running pedals into the clean channel.
Also, the little 1974 Champ is still kicking all sorts of ass, especially after the recap and WGS speaker.

Jensen C12Q. A lot of people say to put a Celestion in the YGM3 but, open-backed with the Jensen in, it's really Fendery and destroys every DRRI I've tried.

Re: Let's see your AMP!
Just got this today. I think it's a '69.
Been rebuilt/restored. Has some fancy speakers.. really should have taken note.. 2x80W 8ohm I think.. They sound great anywho. I even had a friend's stock '72 Twin to compare it with. I'm no expert (always been a player of crappy amps) but perhaps it's the difference between new an old speakers. The '72 was a bit more shapeless when it was driven and had much less headroom. I guess I could wire the cabs backwards and find out!

Re: Let's see your AMP!
It looks like it has a Master Volume which would put it after about 1972?
