It seems from the Register that 325c64's were made in the late 80s to early 90s - is that correct? Are the same as the ones being made today, with vintage toasters and so on? thanks

I thought the 325v63s came in around '84, then the JL series 325s came in around '89-'93?

I think the 325c64s came in to distro in '05 for some overseas distributors, and early/mid '06 for dealers in the US.

Bill's timeline is close to the truth. I believe that some became available as early as 2003 but these may have been prototypes or models made for NAMM. There are errors in the Register that we are slowly correcting as time permits. Certainly none were available before 2003 to my knowledge.

Thanks. I thought that the 325c64 wasn't made back in the 90s but then I saw those entries in the Register

Thanks for the clarifcation Peter. The 325 has certainly been through a roller coaster of an existance. Released in '58, discontinued almost immediately. Suddenly resurrected in '64 to have one of the largest production figures of the 60's, then slowly dwindling away until it's discontinuation (I think when the accent vibrolas finally ran out) in '75. I was almost going to say that the B series of the early 80's was it's next appearance, but a quick check reveals there were no accents available, making that a 320 release. So it's not until the 325v63 released circa '84 that the 325 returns to stay in one form or another
