Help with production date of Model 60?

[FredBart]

Greetings: Could a kind person tell me the approximate production date on a Model 60, serial number R124196 ? It is not for sale, I only need an approximate DOB or production timeframe.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, and welcome! Probably late 1974. Hope this is helpful.

Thanks. That seems about right. I guess I should have posted in the pre-80's forum. Thanks again.
