Super Galaxy Tandem ID help

[Tombt]

Hi, not sure if this is in 5he correct place, apologies if not.
I’ve just bought a Dawes super Galaxy Tandem and would appreciate a bit of help with dating it, components are a bit of a mixture but there is an ID stamped under the BB “AP62904” does this mean it’s a 2004 frame?
Thanks
Tom

I think that is the Ackles and Pollock casting number.
Lots of pictures would help.

Yeah, close, it’s difficult not knowing what is original and not, I think I’ll assume the 135oln is right and leave it alone, find an appropriate hub and drag brake and go from there.
Thanks

Looks early 90s from the decals, cranks and head badge.
