raine Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 7-200-9-019 YDDDYRRR YY is the production year DDD is the day of the year RRR is the factory ranking/plant designation number. Prior to 1984 when the Kalamazoo, MI factory was closed, the numbers 001-499 indicated Kalamazoo production. Ranking numbers 500-999 continued to indicate Nashville production through 1989. Year 79 Day of the year 1979 "200" so "19 july 1979" Rank number 019 So it's Kalamazoo production 'cause numbers is between 001-499. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raine Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Just curious...how do you get August 20 from 200 ? On July 19 made it calculates error You're going on the internet, then you display a calendar from 1979 then you count 200 days and you arrive at the date of July 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibson Searcher Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 actually, I think it was me that wrote that one back in 2011. I didn't recognize my own post because it had been so long since I tried to find it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
