I've got a silverface Twin I believe I bought early 70's. I've read the Fender site info and found the EIN "606" number on a center transformer(? silver toned casing), which is followed by "-21-2". According to the Fender info that would mean it was manufactured the 21st week of 1962. Other parts (incl. maybe real/main transformer, black casing on left behind tubes) have 606's followed by 231, and 215 (w/o hyphens). The tube chart had no dating. I only found the following other #, stamped on the right side of the chassis next to the UL sticker: A 46462. I want to sell it and thought it might be good/interesting to verify vintage.

Any Help?

Silverface from '62? Nope, it would be a '72 you got there...if all the transformers, etc are original. Pics of amp would certainly help too. Inside and out if possible.

A 46462 = SF 1972 Twin Reverb.

Range: A 37000 to A 50500 - 1972
