Orange AD200B serial number decode

[BMBR]

Hi folks how do I date (not take out/courtship/tinder etc lol) an Orange AD200B ? Is there a decoder for the serial number ? Couldn't find any.

Thanks in advance !

On the more modern models, Last 4 digits are normally month and year of production. The first number is usually the number something came off the line. Maybe batch too. 60610-1016 would be made october 2016.
 

i used to own the second Crush20rt off the line. 00002-(whatever month and year, can’t remember off the top of my head) 

 

older serials are a bit harder to decipher I think. 

 

Edit: there’s a couple of variations within AD200Bs, and I’m not sure what year or run that changed at. But early units do about 160watts.
