Dear TAG friends,
I have two EVM OEM speakers, a 12S and a 12L. I have been trying to find out the date in which both were made via the serial number.
I understand that 812 is 8ohms, 12”. The 4 digits after are the model, 9460 being 12L and 0247 being 12S
The age is probably the last 3 digits, 734 and 806.
Is it fair to assume that 734 is 34th week of 1987 and 806 is the 6th week of 1988?

Re: EVM Serial Number
That's a tough one. You have to guess at the decade. Are there any other identifying numbers on the cone or on the rim? Any other hints?

Re: EVM Serial Number
These numbers are beyond what I'm able to comprehend. I think we need a speaker expert.
A short rant: I can't understand why anyone who is making anything would arrive at a 3 digit date code with a single digit for the year -- that it would be OK. It makes no sense at all. I wonder what they were thinking? Useful life was less than 10 years?
