That reminded me of this classic sketch, which I think we can all appreciate...

IMO the "2372" stamped over the serial number is probably a date code: manufactured the 23rd week of 1972.

OMG! That set is super cute! I would love to have one of those, nice score man! The little japanese portables are fun to work on, and pretty much the only "newer" thing I collect tv wise. Otherwise, roundie color sets are my thing. It looks to me that your set was like never used or was very loved, you are lucky to have found it. I'm happy for you! ☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆......lol where in the hell is the "like" button......I spend too much time on Facebook.......:3
