Boogiebabies said:This sheet is Mesa's attempt to index serial numbers in sequence. They make no account for over lapping models so your amp may not fit exactly.
We can see where the whole 14,999 issue came from on the IIC+. There is no way it made it over 14,400 except for one odd 15,000 back plate.
From this info, the IIC made it from 5/83 to about 1/84 before it was fully changed over to the + around 2/84. The + was made from 2/84 mixed in with any remaining
C orders and was discontinued in 4/85 and overlapped with the early MK III. Looking at the MK III, it seems they just picked 15,000 and K500 to start
the new serial number sequence when the IIC+ left off at 1436X and the 300 series left off at K422.
Good stuff !!! Do you have pictures of Randall with a goat ?

Why be different from everybody else? :lol:

Again, the case of the wacky serials. Even with some of the markings of the stripes and dating of some of the III's seem to be a little kooky.
All the Best,

Most probably, your MkII has been produced in March or April 1980.

I am also the owner of a MarkIIA head, fully loaded, export tranny, packed with STR 415, and I believe it is an amp that is very much underestimated by Boogie owners
Funny thing is that your amp has no manufacturing date in the chassis but it has a s/n stamped in the back plate.
