Drake transformers (what year?)

Post by Thiez » Wed Jun 27, 2012 3:55 pm

On ebay i got my hands on a marshall drake transformer and choke for my marshall build. Now there's a code on it, and when i look at that code here on the metro amps forum it says these transformers are made till ''72.

The transformer looks really really wel so i doubt if they are from that time. Have there been any reissues or something?

Here''s a picture. Image

Not an expert on dating these, but my guess would be June of 88
