Kitchen-Marshall |

Kitchen's of Leeds was a large
retailer. A side business was fitting out clubs with PA.
Jim Marshall agreed to make gear for Kitchen who insisted that
his name must appear on the equipment. They compromised on
the name Kitchen-Marshall brand and made PAs and guitar cabinets
for 2 or 3 years.
Private brand made by Marshall for
Kitchen Music. This began in 1966. [Source:

Kitty Hawk |
1980s/1990s.
Kitty Hawk was the German importer
of Dumbles (for a short while). The amp chassis were built in
the US, and shipped to Germany without transformers or cabinets,
and the cabinets and iron were installed in Germany. Kitty Hawk
later made some amps of their own design, that appeared to
borrow pretty heavily from Dumble and Mesa-Boogie (sometimes
both, in the same amp !). The production Kitty Hawks (imported
into the US by LPMG) were not Dumble or Mesa based. [Source

"All of our products are made

Eminence makes all of the speakers
we use in our cabinets in Eminence, Kentucky U.S.A.
Krank amp dating
The serial numbers do not
generally indicate the date of manufacture.
Most items are dated internally,
you'll find a sticker on the end of or inside the chassis with
the date of the initial build, a time log of when the amplifier
went through the burn in and testing process, and a final test
date.
Speaker cabinets, as far as I
know, do not have any dates indicated on them. [Source: Patrick, Krank amps, emails
