HD 65 bass head ser#

59jazz

Hello,
Just found an HD 65 bass head locally in filthy shape, and am wondering about the date of manufacture. Serial # is AN00205.
I'm planning on sending out the chassis to a notable amp tech, for a thorough check up. I'll need to clean the head and speaker cab. No tears in the vinyl, but the protective corners are rusted and will need to be replaced. Thanks in advance!

Does it have 12ax7 PI tube? if so, from 74-77 or so. If no tube. 77-79-80ish.

Definitely should be capped. Clean the IC sockets and tube sockets as well.

Think I'd lightly wire brush the PT and put a coat of Rustoleum on it too.

Tested the cab today, works great! Started cleaning the cab and I found this, a stamped plate with a ser# on it.
