Subj: Re: age of my r-13?

Somewhere in my filing cabinet, I have a list of the Buffet manufacture
dates, which, if I ever run across it again, I will post to this list!!

For Chad's benefit, a "215" is not particularly old. My A is 110803, and
it was made in about 1969, and my oldest Bb is "188" something, which was
made in 1975, if I recall correctly. So you're looking at probably
somehwere in the early 80's, which to me at least, is not particularly
old (and if anyone tries to imply that I'M particularly old for saying
that, they're in trouble!)
