Silver started in 1968. While on the subject, Mr. Van Zandt (the pickup guy,
sorry, can’t remember his first name) was looking at a 1966 Super Reverb of
mine and showed me a little trick I hadn’t seen before. He asked me how I
dated the amp, I told him by the speakers. He told me to lift of the reverb
tank and look at the botom of the cab for a number faintly stamped in black
ink. He asked me what the last two numbers were and right there it was ’66’.
I checked all my blackfaces and there it was, however faintly. Good way
to see if the cabinet matches the speakers, chassis, etc…
