coliseum 880 bass head

[Amy]

I'm thinking of buying one and I'm wondering how many watts the output is and how to tell what year it was made in.  Also any comments from people who have played one would be appreciated.  Please email me.

Thanks... That's the one.
Do you know what years these were made in?  Any clue as to how to tell how old mine is?

The only thing that gave me a clue as to when
it was manufactured was the sticker on the
transformer (which is most of the weight of the
head). ALl it said was "11/74".
My catalog is a 74 catalog as well, so they were
definitely made then, but I don't know what range of years they were manufactured.

You might want to look inside the chassis. There should be a sticker with the date or it is written in pencil. Hope this helps. L8r
