Thanks Steven, I missed that in the initial post. Guess I should read a little more carefully next time. I'll have to grab the info from my brother. I'll see if he can snap some pics too, and I'll put them up.

Hey all! I'm new to the board, and am in the process of scraping together the money to get a blonde Dot.

 

My question is: How far back do these codes cover on Epi's made overseas? My little brother has an ET-290 that I bought almost 25 years ago for $95. Just recently figured out what the model number was. We have passed it between myself, my little brother, and one of our other brothers a few times. I've been told ours was made around 1970, but haven't had a way to verify more precisely. Are there any identifiable codes for Epi's that old?
