Emmons SD-10 for sale on the forum with a sn 184 S T. What year would this be?
Thanks.

My '79 is stamped DST xxxx. I'm not sure how the numbering works.. it seems they had different numbering systems. The ST (which I thought was the Single Ten) and the DST (for the (D)ouble body Single Ten) may have had different systems.. hopefully, some one here can help us both out!

Judging by the pedals , early 80's .

It sounds like an early LeGrande S/N.

Edited:

Ooops!

It's clearly a p/p, but 2002? Is this one of the SDs that Doug Palmer was building in Burlington from old bodies that lay in their basement?

The number is a mystery. I thought those few 'late' P/Ps weren't numbered, but my recollection is sketchy. I watched Doug doing one back in 2004, I believe. My impression was that they were all lacquer but maybe they weren't.

I know some people put LeGrande pedals on PPs, so that might explain the pics..?

I had an early 80's SD10 PP , came with those black LeGrande style pedals. Have seen lots of pics of 80's PP's that had the LeGrande pedals. The early LeGrande pedals were black , later ones were silver . I am far from an expert though .
