hier die Antwort der Fa. Orange zur anfrage bzgl. dieses Amps

 

 I’m afraid that as a matter of policy, we don’t give valuations on our old products, they’re worth whatever someone is willing to pay. However, I think you may find this information from one of staff members who was very likely involved in building this amp interesting. On the early OR120’s models we used a black background for the crest. This is a very early Orange OR120 Graphic Guitar amp known more commonly as a ‘Pics Only or ‘Plexis’ These amps were first introduced in 1972 although it did appear in an Orange Catalogue as early as 1971. Orange were one of the first companies to design an electronic product replacing the written word with symbols thus ‘Pics Only’ The early models had a Perspex reverse printed front panel with a steel reinforcing plate behind thus Plexis. I notice that your clients amplifier also has ‚Drop Through‘ chassis transformers which were a feature in the earlier models chaging later to ’surface mounting‘ The Perspex panel was later replaced with a steel screen printed panel in around 1973. In 1974 the Pics and Text version was launched superseding this model although production continued into 1975. From inception the Orange front panel width was designed as a standard 19” rack mount unit. The amplifier was fitted into the sleeve using four standard pan head gutter bolts into an angle iron bracket fixed to each side of the cabinet. The black plastic washers prevented damage to the panel (in particular the Perspex panel which was prone to cracking). Models using this type of mounting usually had a small bracket on the rear of the chassis which was fixed into the base of the cabinet with a wood screw. Early models were OR100 or ORS100 but later models were upgraded to OR120. This method of fixing was changed around 1973 to chassis fixing bolts located on the base of the cabinet. As this is one of the earlier models I would therefore date this amp somewhere between late to the early part of 1973. I do not recognise the amplifier sleeve but we did manufacture a few custom solid wood versions for several models which would have been for ‚trade exhibition‘ purposes. I cannot confirm whether this was made by us or custom built by others. I hope this information is helpful.
