Need Help Dating KLH 6 Speaker

Just bought this KLH 6 via craigslist. Yes, unfortunately, I only have one, but I couldn't resist. It sounds great. No regrets, except the fact I don't have two. Anybody care to weigh in on what the date of manufacture might be. The serial number is 5419. Any help appreciated

I'm not very familiar with the extensive line of KLH models, but I believe the model 6 may have been manufactured between 1958 and 1963, which would be consistent with the Cambridge address on your ID tag, since it notes a postal zone instead of a postal zip code, which went into effect in 1963.

You have the early style Six, which was manufactured until sometime in 1963. The drivers are epoxied in. Replaceable drivers came after that. One way to tell the difference is that the later models had a recessed connection/crossover plate. The later style was sold until sometime in 1972.
