landru Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Hello and I hope the forum can help with this please...Does the "G" referenced in serial number "1G323" (for example) on a retro Cornwall II refer to the year 1968 or 1969? Thanks and regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanm84 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 G = 1968. Scroll to the bottom of this page http://www.critesspeakers.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budman Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 i don't agree with the chart because i've never seen any klipsch speakers have the letter I in the serial number along with the letters O - Q - V so i think the G stands for 1969 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landru Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 Gentleman, thanks. I have viewed the posting on the Crites website and a post from a Klipsch forum member Groomlakearea51 on this topic. They appear to disagree with respect to letter codes "A" through "H" as shown below. Groomlakearea51 does reveal the background behind their research, which does appear extensive. Thanks again for any further insight. Crites website posts this information... 1962-1983 Letter format A = 1962 F = 1967 K = 1972 R = 1977 X = 1982 B = 1963 G = 1968 L = 1973 S = 1978 Y = 1983 C = 1964 H = 1969 M = 1974 T = 1979 D = 1965 I = 1970 N = 1975 U = 1980 E = 1966 J = 1971 P = 1976 W = 1981 ...while an excerpt from Groomlakearea51's post: shows this: "YEAR OF MANUFACTURE (1955 THROUGH 1983 ONLY)A = 1955-63* F = 1968 L = 1973 S = 1978B = 1963-64* G = 1969 M = 1974 T = 1979C = 1965 H = 1970 N = 1975 U = 1980D = 1966 J = 1971 P = 1976 W = 1981E = 1967 K = 1972 R = 1977 X = 1982Y = 1983* Cornwall's & La Scala's used "A" 1963 and "B" for 1964; the first Cornwall to use a letter code was 3A09, shipped in August of 1963."
