"The first H&K guitar amplifier,
the AS 64 was built in 1985 and then officially launched in
1986.
Serial number coding system. Since 2005 the manufacturing date
is also written on a sticker on the rear panel.
Since 2002 we run an ACCESS data base which helps us to track
every serial number back to the date of manufacture. Everybody
in our comapony has access to this data base - easy.
For manufacturing dates before 2002 we need to send the serial
number to the head of the electronics shop. He has filed all
production runs and can track the serial number by run. So this
is a bit more hassle, but works, too." [Source: Martin Reichhart,
