Arri II serial numbers

[Lee Love]

I just got what I think is an Arri IIc. The serial number stamped in red above the turret says: No. B7465. Does the "B" mean it's a IIb? It has a IIc door with the switchable glass. Can the serial number tell me year of manufacture? Is there an on-line resource for this?

 

Thanks!

 

PS:I tried to search the forum for FAQs, etc, but all I get is an error message. Who do I contact about that?

Hello,

 

The 'B' tell you that your camera is a IIB, upgraded as a IIC. Nevertheless, I don't know if it's possible to know the year of manufacturing from the number. If somebody know that, I'm also interested !
