What year is my Ovation from?

I need to fix a few things (get tuners, a nut and a saddle... ) on it and I'm trying to get more info... The sticker inside has been removed so there is no serial number... It looks really old... It is all made of wood, unlike the "usual" Ovation with the plastic back... The back is made of wood and it looks like mahogany, but I'm not sure. I think you call its shape "shallow". It's 2 -3 inches thick. Top looks like spruce and there's plastic pickguards/soundholes that look like feathers... I don't know what model it is. Could you guys help me? Is it possible to get tuners for that specific model? They were diamond-shaped... There are only dot inlays on the neck, which is ebony... Thank you very much!!

But first of all - Welcome. And this is not an Ovation... Herbert123 Posted 2009-06-06 8:42 PM (#412743 - in reply to #412738) Subject: Re: What year is my Ovation from?
