Rick-o-Sound box question

[jakeox]

Once again I turn to the lazyweb for an answer to my question (I tried search, but didn't get anything helpful).

I recently acquired two Rick-o-Sound boxes. One is pristine, and has a black cord. The other one has seen some use, and the cord is silver and the box itself has a slightly different finish ... more hammered, if that makes any sense at all. I assume the latter is older, and it needs a tiny bit of work (the cord is frayed right behind the plug, but it seems to work fine).

I'm curious if anyone knows how to tell how old a Rick-o-Sound box is. I'm going to sell one, probably the older one, and thought it might be useful to have a ballpark age.

Does it have a serial number on it? If so, I would think that a run through the decoder ring might work. I may be wrong.

Cut it in half and count the rings. Oh wait, that's treeeees. (Medicine still wearing off, sorry!)

That's how I'm going to figure out how old my bass is ...
