Members Mr_GoodBomb Posted July 17, 2011 Members Share Posted July 17, 2011 I have a ProCo Rat 2 that someone told me was vintage when they sold it to me. They said about early 90s. Someone mentioned today that the old ones don't have a center light in the A, which this one does. The serial is 147848. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members woolyh Posted July 17, 2011 Members Share Posted July 17, 2011 They started using the LEDs in 1988 so it could still be from the late 80s early 90s if you call that vintage ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mrweems Posted July 17, 2011 Members Share Posted July 17, 2011 Small box, You have: the early 80s, and then mid 80's with just the flat white paint.The late 80's - early 90's, came the reissue big box and the small box with the led's in the a. Also check the chip set, does it say LM308? If it does, probalby early 90's RAT II and not the current Rat II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
