Dual Rec rack mount

[metalmaster]

Does anyone know offhand what years Mesa produced the rack mount Dual rectifiers?

I have a strong feeling that they were stopped around the year 2000 (that's when the Recto recording preamp came out too).

1995 was the last of the "Ractofiers"

Are you sure? I could swear I've seen multiple rackmount rectos up for grabs that were made in 1999.

Special order perhaps, but I do believe Mesa stopped production on these in the mid 90's.

I think you are right. This would fit in the timeline with the introduction of the three channel which had too much componentry to fit in the rack mount chassis. One just sold on E-Bay that the seller stated they bought new in 2000. I remember seeing on new around late 99 or early 2000 at a local dealer. It would have been cheaper to but it new. The one on Flea Bay wet for almost $ 1800.
