Between 1965-1995 Bozak relocated several times in Connecticut. In 1995 the Bozak final location in Flordia was dissolved. During these 30 years several fabrication shops were used to produce panels. All orders stated “ finish and screening critical” plus “machine grain fine surface and black anodize finish.” No original plates were painted or have a smooth anodized finish. Print screening was raised and not etched that wears over time. Many original plates are found with extremely worn print. Mixers can be found with original plates drilled by individuals to add modifications, but stickers were never used.
Original Bozak CMA 10-2DLA .
In 1985 with G serial numbers the CMA 10-2DLB and CMA 10-2DLC were introduced with 3 A/B toggle switches.
Fake plates have a round hole missing the retaining key.
Real plates have a round hole with the retaining key.
Bozak never produced a mixer with 4 A/B toggle switches.
The most ever used were 3 between the words treble and bass on the factory CMA 10-2DLB and CMA 10-2DLC.
This is a good reproduction, but a trained eye can spot the difference.
Original trademarks are visibly different from fakes.
When the factory modified or added updates the new function was screen printed on the grain finish. Stickers were never used.
Various print styles exist, but all plates beginning in 1971 have “machine grain fine surface” in silver or black anodized finish.
Many reproduction or fake plates are found with a painted finish.
