Klipsch Date Code
post #1 of 4Old11-11-2010, 04:01 PM - Thread Starter
Klipschorn Time Line KH Time Line MK 060411.xls 1930 - 1951 Date Event 1930 While working In Chile, S.A. PWK was an amateur radio enthusiast. Comparing various types of radio speakers, he recognized the superior efficiency of horns. 1933 Back in the U.S. At Stanford University, PWK made note of a classmates. Klipschorn's made (Klipschorn's made in 1946-1947 were serial numbered from 1 to 20, and in 1948 started with #121, skipping #21 through #120). For a pair of 1979 La Scala's, with serial number 22T403, it means there were 21,403 La Scala's made to that point. Another example: A pair of Belles from 1979 has the serial number 3T242 and 243. Oct 06, 2014 In other words, the top half is the.0004 serial number and the bottom is the.0003 serial number so they don't match. I guess I don't really care much, I'm kind of picky and just wanted consecutive and matching serial numbers. Nov 11, 2010 Here's a Magic Decoder Ring(tm). It stops at 2000, but I.think. I've seen elsewhere that the last format is still in use. I thought that info was front and center at the Klipsch site, too, but had to search for the reference. It is on the Internet in several places, but I'm too lazy to look for others.

Can anyone tell me how to tell the manufacturing date of my Klipsch speakers based upon the serial numbers? I purchased these used. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I looked on the Klipsch forum but didn't find anything clear. My serial numbers on my speakers are RF62BK+05510535 and RF62BK+05510549. Can you tell me what the date is by these numbers? Thanks!
