TR100 Head / SB215 Cab - Help Please!

[FullMoonFever]

Hi,
I am hoping someone can help me with putting a value/year to this Amp & Cab. The head is a TR100 and the cab is model SB215. It's in about as mint condition as it can get for its age, everything works 100% and there are little to no dings/scratches. I couldn't find any information on the SB215 cab on the web and have seen next to nothing about this head/cab combination. I attached some pictures below, Mr. Paul is there for scale.

Welcome Al. Nice setup you have there. I also have a TR-100 head. It's a very nice 2 channel solid state head, although the distortion is not so great in my opinion.

According to the serial number decoder on Rickenbacker's website, your head was manufactured in 1984, the cabinet in 1982 (when using this decoder, you have to remove the leading zeros for amplifiers).

I paid about $150 for my head, if you want to use that as a value indicator. No idea on the cabinet. Once in a while, the very cool Rickenbacker Solid State amp catalog pops up on Ebay. It gives you all the specs on these items. Definately worth picking up if you get a chance.

Thanks for the info Erik. I wasn't removing the zeroes from the Serial # that's why it wasn't coming up.
