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

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

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

I can't recall ever seeing one.

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.
