Welcome to the forum!

Those are the 4,094th and 4,095th Klipschorns made in 1972.

DATES DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE

1955-1983 ##letter#### 20Y1234

• Letters that look like numbers (e.g. I, O, Q, V) were not

used. "S" is frequently misread as a "5" and Y has been

confused with an X on occasion.

• July 29, 1955 was the last day for the four digit serials (i.e.

1811). After that the "number- letter-serial" system went

into effect (2 August 1955). The first "number-letterserial"

speaker was produced on the 2nd of August 1955;

that serial number was 1A812.

• In the 1955-1983 serial method the first, or prefix

"digit(s)" before the year letter represents the sequence of

production for each 1000 units. The suffix digits after the

letter code will always be three digits - 001 through 999.

For example 1C999 would be the 999th unit built, and

2C999 would be the 1999th built in 1965 C = 1965).

• These digits before & after the year code apply only to that

type of speaker.

• The year code letter only identifies the year in which that

number occurred.

• As an example, if you have a pair of Klipschorn's and one

of the serial numbers is 15T252, then by 1979 there had

been 14,151 Klipschorn's made (Klipschorn's made in

1946-1947 were serial numbered from 1 to 20, and in

1948 started with #121, skipping #21 through #120).

• For a pair of 1979 La Scala's, with serial number 22T403,

it means there were 21,403 La Scala's made to that point.

• Another example: A pair of Belles from 1979 has the serial

number 3T242 and 243. This means that in 1979 these

Klipsch Belles, the 2,242nd & 2,243rd, were made.

YEAR OF MANUFACTURE (1955 THROUGH 1983 ONLY)

A = 1955-63* F = 1968 L = 1973 S = 1978

B = 1963-64* G = 1969 M = 1974 T = 1979

C = 1965 H = 1970 N = 1975 U = 1980

D = 1966 J = 1971 P = 1976 W = 1981

E = 1967 K = 1972 R = 1977 X = 1982

Y = 1983
