Finding my Triples age by serial ?

Hi I am wondering if it is possible to find out my Triple rec's age by the serial number I am supposedly the 3rd owner of this amp but it is a 3 channel so I am wondering how old it is or might be does anyone know how or even when the 3 channel versions came out ?

Thanks

Dylan

I think the three channel models came out around August of '00, but I'm not sure :? I too would like to know how to date my Recto head by ser#, anyone know :?:

Well, the first thing you will want to do is call Mesa Boogie and ask to speak with someone who can identify the date of manufacture of your amplifier by the serial number. You can also try pulling the chassis to see if they wrote it in there. The older 2 channel versions have a Month/Year date inside them.

The 2000 and 2001 models don't have a little label above the Solo Output Volume and the Overall Loop Master Volume that says "Loop Active". These are the two knobs to the far left. From 2002 to the Present, there is a label above these two controls that says "Loop Active". You can see it in the pictures below.

This is a 2000 or 2001 model

That is close enough for me maybe I will call them at some point to find out for sure.

thanks
