Usually you are correct.... the 12AX7A Phase Splitter usually means an older model, while the black badges with raised silver artwork usually means a newer model.


What are the model and serial numbers on the back? Are there any other markings or stickers?


Yours could be an older amp with a replaced grill board that had newer badges, or it could be a newer amp that someone restored to the tube phase splitter because they liked the sound. From here it is hard to tell!
