Determining Date of older Pacemaker

Randy22 Posted 2023-01-14 8:31 PM (#557951) Subject: Determining Date of older Pacemaker Joined: April 2003 Posts: 230 Location: Pewaukee, WI Picked up a rough Pacemaker 1615-4; neck and action are great, but the top is the rough part. My question is, it's a silver label, serial number 009291. I see 000001-007000 being 1972 (May-Dec), then it jumps to 020001-039000 being 1974. Is mine a 1973?

I guess if Las Vegas were running a line on it I would wager 1973.. but not the whole month's rent and food. seesquare Posted 2023-01-15 10:17 AM (#557954 - in reply to #557951) Subject: Re: Determining Date of older Pacemaker Joined: November 2002 Posts: 3611 Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire 49 years old. Be thankful it still plays, especially for a 12-string. We all get cracks & wrinkles, eventually.
