The obscured digit (tear on label) is either a 3 or a 7, based on looking at the other digits.

The power amp, ending with 5001 is quite possibly the first production unit produced! May '78 is likely the first month of production. We do have one listed as produced in March '78 but there are no others produced before May. In my opinion, it's an outlier and probably probably recorded in error. Your tuner ending in 5020 is the next oldest one recorded so you have the earliest examples of a G-22!Here’s an update to my G22000 - I pulled the power amp off to make it more portable - is this the earliest one?

That's good to know. I recapped it around 8 years ago and it's still singing nicely.In my opinion, it's an outlier and probably probably recorded in error. Your tuner ending in 5020 is the next oldest one recorded so you have the earliest examples of a G-22!
