Safety

Ampeg's own dating/support text carries an explicit warning: lethal voltage is stored inside tube amplifiers even after power-off — the SVT and V-series in particular should not have their chassis opened by anyone without experience. Read the serial from the outside.

How this model is dated
01 / Witnesses

What applies here

Marks that can be entered for this maker: Serial number (plate), Transformer code.

02 / Bounds

The model year is a floor

Nothing predates 1971; components only push the date later.

03 / Value

What moves the price

Sold-price aggregates are not collected yet, so the archive gives no figure — condition, originality of the transformers and a documented recap move this model more than any list price.
