Reinhold Bogner, since 1989.

"Unfortunately there is no uniform
way to find out what year the amps were made.
First the amps had serial numbers, then from1992 amps had a
serial sign, from Febuary 2005 on they have serial numbers
again. Only sure way to
determine the year is to call or email Bogner and we can look it
up. There might be dates on certain parts if the amps are opened
up to identify the
year." [Source: Jorg, Bogner Amplification ,email 12/8/2008 ] |
