Darn, I used to know-it was somewhere in the 68-72 era, and I want to say the earlier. It's possible, though, that the figures I saw were based on total value of the sets sold and not production numbers. I had started a timeline based on the news reports in old trade magazines, but never took the time to get it very far.
