Just received a Red Model C795 Frankie head. This thing is pristine original but the cardboard Serial Number tag became unglued (go figure after all this time) and fell to the bottom of the head.
Where would the original location be so I can re-glue it in its proper location.

I also have a pristine Red Sparkle K100 head w cover I can sell if anyone out there happens to have a red bottom to go with it.

I will have to look at mine and let you know.
The tag falling off or coming unglued thing happens all the time and Fenders and Marshall amps and use art store Matt medium to glue them back on with and I coat the face of them also to keep the lettering from smearing in the future.

It usually is mounted where the later metallic stickers were mounted. Under the perforated metal panel, on the aluminum back panel where the output transistors are mounted. It would be on the far right side as you look at the amp from the rear.

If you look closely, you might see traces of the original glue.

OK, I see where the glue residue is now. It was laying on the left side
and I never looked right. Thanks C Bill!
