If I understand they went from decal to stamp sometime in '77, as mine is stamped and yours has a decal, an interesting exercise in date codes and possible production variation.

"99" sticker: '75

"00" sticker: '76

"06" sticker: '77 (I know, seems weird)

I don't know if sticker versus stamp means a different manufacturing location or not, only that that's when they switched.

IIRC the 06=1977 was a decal, sometime later in 77 they went to the stamp and the numbering scheme they still use today. I don't think you can tell the location from the s/n until the current numbering scheme.

I always wondered, Mark, what cupsize do you wear on stage? (Not the cup underneath the skirt, if any!)

Just an update since I was venting about the Guitar Center Experience earlier: they mailed the drum machine to the wrong address anyway! After all of that! They didn't require a signature or anything and just left it on the porch of a place I haven't lived at in almost 3 years. After a day and a half trying to talk to UPS about it, I decided just to go down to the house and see if anyone there saw it (and was honest enough to give it back if they did).

They were happy to let me have it back, which I appreciated, but a curious coincidence was their son was also named "Nick" and had opened it up and messed with it a bit. I certainly can't be mad at him since I probably would out of curiosity too.

So now tomorrow morning I am going to call GC and raise Hell. If they don't offer me a significant return on this cost I'm going to shove it back up their ass and wash my hands of this entire experience.

I don't blame you. But if it had happened to me, I would return it for a refund regardless.
