DrWho Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Bob, is that an exhaustive list? This question comes up frequently enough to warrant an article over at KlipschCorner.com. I must confess I haven't paid much attention all the times I've seen it posted, but I would be willing to pretty it up if I knew I had all the right info...

JJkizak Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 My 1965's numbers were on the tailboard and alongside the woofer door and they were very clean. If that was a stamped number it was very sharp. Did they use any other method? JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
