Audio Systems: Year made
QuestionHi I have a General Electric Clock/Radio model 7-4305F and it's date code is 3238. I would like to know what year it was manufactured.
AnswerI have no idea. Manufacturers during that era used corny coding systems that only the manufacturer could decipher; and they changed the coding system every few years. I did a google search and found a forum on the subject that might be of interest to you.

Some times the date code is buried in the serial number. This site may be helpful to you.
