I simply need to know how to determine the year of manufacture for a used 65 Reissue Twin Reverb I just bought from a private seller who did not know the model year. He thinks it is an early 2000's model, but I believe it might be older.

Is there a clue in the serial number, or anywhere else in the labeling of the chassis or parts? Serial number = AC 039226

In fact, what else (if anything) can be determined from the s/n? Specific location of mfr plant, etc?

Qick gush opp: After an initial sweat session with my Strat driving this beautiful beast in all 5 pickup positions, at various volumes, tone settings, and reverb/tremolo levels, I can already tell this Twin (my first) is probably going to prove itself to be the best music-related purchase I have ever made. Before today, I really didn't know what clean tube power WAS. I am sure I will be writing fevered reviews in every imaginable amp forum once the excitement of the new purchase wears off (I never let the post-purchase novelty run away with me, I torture it for six months first), and I want to know as much as possible about the piece for my own head.

Any feedback (pun subconciously intended) would be greatly appreciated.

I will post some pics of the actual amp (once I take some), especially rear views, but it is very much the same as the images one would find if they did a Google image search on "65 Reissue Twin".
