Mosrite Serial Numbers - Organized Links to Each List (On-Site and Off-Site.)

Postby 101Volts » Sun Jul 09, 2023 4:07 pm

Since there are many Serial Number Lists for Mosrite Models now, here's a more organized chronological (by decade) and alphabetical way of getting to each list.

If the list is at the Mosrite Forum (and I oversee each list here,) then you will need to check the most recent reply (or close to it) of the linked thread for the most up to date information, but this thread is just for the sake of organization.

If the list is at Maxkat's site (which I do not oversee,) then I've mostly linked as directly as I can to the start of each section, except for the 1976 - 1995 parts, and I also did not link to sub-versions of each model (such as the few Gospel Mark Vs.)

Lastly, some of these aren't yet as organized as I'd like them (the 350, Blues Bender, and Brass Rail topics in particular.) I started (or otherwise worked on) multiple lists before I was an Admin, so I updated them by one reply at a time since I couldn't edit a topic, and those topics have many replies. For those topics, you'll need to check the most recent reply for the most recent update to that topic.

If you want to check for serial numbers of most other models made after 1974, Max has another section of his site here that you can check out, ranging from 1976 - 1995:

There's another site with numbers that Kiyoshi Mochizuki hosted. Some (if not all) numbers on it may already have been taken from this site, but I've posted it here for completion's sake:
