Thanks for any help and Merry Christmas to you forum members.

Ball park is early 1987, but if you post in the very top forum sticky, member Kernel Crittenden has an extensive data base on serial#'s and he can narrow that down quite a bit. Here's the link.
Merry Xmas

October - November 1986.

September '86 is the earliest -1 I've seen, so your's is among the first.
