Ampeg 1970 serial numbers started around 93000. However, Ampeg serial number dating is undocumented and very difficult. Some examples of 1970 serial numbers are 09405x and 10251x. For more precise dating cross reference the serial number with the amplifier's transformer, potentiometer, capacitor and speaker codes.
