Can you help me date this push pull please?

Post by John Davis »

I have a massive clue in the fact it had LeGrande Pedals when I first owned it so I think it might well be in that changeover time. I replaced them with the old Emmon's Narrow pedals that I prefer. You can see its not a fat back and it has the tulip tuners but the serial number gives little info as you can see in pics. be glad of any help?

Not sure if pics are uploading

I have seen that chart before I think its right on the D10's and I have the first fat back made in 71 but I think the SD10's numbers are all over the place

I would guess late '70's. I think they started using the tulip tuners around '75 or so, and with the LeGrande pedals, probably puts it around '79-79.

Thanks for the help, no idea how many Dst's they would put out in a year but from the numbers on the 79 and the tulip tuners info I reckon 1977 would be a fair guess.
Thanks again for the help.

Hi there friend John !

Those Kluscon 'Tulip tuners' would put it toward the end of the 70's.

My '79 D10 PP has same type of tuners. Still work great.

Thanks for the input Ron I reckon we just about nailed it down within a year or two, the fact that it had LeGrande pedals on it when it first came to me confused me some, I had not seen those pedals on a push pull befor.

My 74, according to serial number, has the tulip tuners. It’s a D-10 rosewood mica.
