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. hieronymous Senior Member Username: hieronymous Post Number: 512 Registered: 1-2005 Posted on Tuesday, January 13, 2009 - 10:26 am:    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? sacredheartattack New Username: sacredheartattack Post Number: 8 Registered: 1-2009 Posted on Tuesday, January 13, 2009 - 10:31 am:    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? davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 7333 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Tuesday, January 13, 2009 - 11:17 am:    Alembic moved to Santa Rosa in 1979, so it's no older than '79. edwin Advanced Member Username: edwin Post Number: 385 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Wednesday, January 14, 2009 - 8:44 pm:    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
