New Member, Greetings, Racto etc

Hi all,

I'm new around here- just thought I'd pop in and say hi.
I'm an session guy/producer living in London.

I have a bunch of amps- but my pride of place is an '89 Dual Recto Rackmount.
Had it since '92- bought it from Sunburt Music in Coogee, Australia.
It has been all around the world with me.
Serial Number is R-011XXX.

Can anyone tell me what revision is it based on the appearance and the serial?

Obligatory pics:

Cheers,

Jim Richmond

Welcome to the board!

Nice amp! Can't tell you anything about the revision, though, but there are plenty of other members here that can chime in about that.

First off, I can tell you that it's not an 89' and you haven't had it since 92'. The first Dual Rectos were built in 92'. With a serial # in the 11,000's it's somewhere around 97-99 and it's a rev G.

LOL.
Yes, you are right.

I meant to say it is from 1998.
I'm dyslexic- hasn't been quite so obvious in a while though.
My apologies.

The PRS Custom in the pic is from 1989 (quickly double checking)- I've had that since 1992- the Dual Recto I've had since around 1999.

No worries. :lol:

Nice setup.

I would say a 98, and all you have to do is take off the screws on the bottem and that bottem plate comes right off and it will be marked with a marker on the inside the year and the intials of the person that built it.

Great sounding amp, i have the same one, same year roughly.
