Mr. Astor,
Thank you for providing that website as a reference check if you will for any and all future tape machine purchases. I currently have a Studer A810 that has been kept in top shape by Roger Ginsley in Pickering Ontario Canada. I would like to know if you are aware of a website or search engine of sorts that may be able to tell me off of the serial number of Steady as to just what year he was manufactured. Just a curiosity is all.

Skylab, Myles & dminches thank you kindly for your responses toward my query. Skylab I will pay attention to the firmware dates as you have indicated and yes the date for the last update is logically more relevant than the manufacture date. I was just curious about how old he is.
