I was gifted an F-2B. On the back of the unit is a hand stamped 4-digit serial number. It is 4041. Know anything about it? I'd love a production date, that way I can confirm I am using gear that is twice my age because that's awesome. |

Congrats! You've got a great piece of gear there. There's a couple of things that can help - does it say where it was made? I assume it's a blue one as opposed to a black one? |

Thanks! Yes sir. Blue chassis, with the black front. It has the "Alembic, Inc. Santa Rosa, CA" printed on the back, but that is all I can find. Is there anything else I can tell you? |

Alembic moved to Santa Rosa in 1979, so it's no older than '79. |

To give some perspective, my F2B is serial number 459 and is marked San Francisco. It also has a very large power switch. I had another that was a little higher and marked Sebastapol. Edwin |
