March of 1965. Non-logo PR's were typical of this era. Most of the major chassis components are likely pre-CBS, as is the "FEIC" front panel.

You shall indeed have fun with that amp. The smell of vintage circuitry is lovely.

Thanks guys....I feel like I hit the lottery finding this, Im now the 3rd owner, 2nd owner had it in his possesion over 20 years.
She's dusty and dirty, kinda hate to clean the insides of all the dust balls as this might affect tone......LMAO
The tube selection in this thing is crazy good.
Here's some more #'s that are inked stamped on the inside bottom

The cab would seem to be original to the chassis -- which is always a good thing.

When I cleaned the cab on mine after acquiring it I found a pencil, several errant kep nuts and a 1963 mercury-head dime beneath the reverb bag.

here are some more #'s
Tranny - 606-4-39
OT - 606-5-02

No choke in a PR -- that's the reverb tranny.
