    The speaker reads C10N C7438 5 on the right: which describes the model and
    its construction. But what about the 6-digit code 220438 to the left? That's the
    code that reveals the manufacturer as Jensen and the production date as the
    38th week of 1964.
    Speaker companies, along with other electrical manufacturers, were assigned
    EIA (Electronics Industry Alliance) codes which were used to identify their
    equipment. The 220*** portion of the rim code is the number assigned to
    Jensen. Other speaker companies were assigned different prefix codes as
    follows (to name the main ones of our hobby).

    The last three digits of the rim code, ***438 display the production date. The "4" gives the last digit of the
    year of production. I knew the cabinet from which this speaker came and knew the decade to be the 1960's -
    therefore this speaker was made sometime in 1964. The "38" refers to the calendar week.

    Therefore the C10N speaker above was made in the 38th week of 1964. Right about the time The Kinks were
    in the #1 spot w/ You Really Got Me. Neat huh?

    A speaker with the code 285312 would be.........................a Rola made in the 12th week of 1963 (or '53). Still
    helps to know the equipment from where it came to make a spot on age determination.

    Knowing these codes will help you spot some good deals on auctions that haven't advertised the brand name -
    and - they can help you spot errors if a Seller is incorrectly advertising something it's not.
