Never was much interested in them before, but can someone refresh my memory on how to read the newer Spec. Ord. date codes.

I have a 37-1 from 1993 with Spec. Ord. number 3018. Any help?

I think it reads like this, from what I have heard: first digit in the code is the last digit of the year produced ("3"018 =1993). the next three digits are the day of the year it was produced (018 = 18th day of 1993, or Jan 18).

Thanks, my memory is slowly coming back now.

So is this Aug 1, 199M or Aug 1, 200M?
