I'm going to hazard a guess that it was made in 1976? :D

And I would have thought 1975 (need time to ship it to stores, and for advance sales... :D

That's probably more accurate, I should have said it's a 76 model.

I can't recall ever seeing one.

Hey lets see a pic of this one! Sounds cool, I have never seen a bicentennial Maggie before! I was born in Oct 1976 too!

i will try to post a pic.i do have one on my cell phone of the screen.very sharp pic before the cap went.i pulled a wire of one side and it operates with a slightly pulled in and short picture.in the shop days,those oval shaped power caps went all the time!just need to find one.no supply houses around here anymore!

I feel you. There's not much in my neck of the woods after HSC electronics shut thier doors last year. Well, I got Fry's electronics but thier selection kinda sucks, but I shouldn't complain.
Forget Radio Shack unless youre looking for a cap 35wvdc or less. :(
