I'm the original owner of an Orion serial number 95W9541.  Still in rock solid condition.  Only things not original are the strings and the 9 volt.  Any idea what this era runs for?

Am I missing something?  Because I'm not seeing an answer in the thread.

Hi Darin,
Your serial number's first two digits are the year of manufacture. So your Orion was complete`d in 1995. It's still a currently manufactured model.

I believe the W designates an Epic,
an Orion would be an O...

Hello Darin,
very late reply, as I´am an older member but just now find time for my musical interests again.
Just a little additional information:
Your model is named "Epic", produced since 1993. Code: W.
Concerning the serial number and the production volume in 1995 (more than 700 alembics have been build that year) it was finished very late in 1995, probably in December.
