I know how to find Hasselblad and Leica dates, but not rollei.

I just received a Rollei SL66 from a wonderful chap (Dietmar) in Deutschland. It is a single owner camera (Dietmar) and in absolutely pristine condition.

The s/n is 2917354. How do I figure out when this camera was made?

Thanks,

Jim
Prochnow (Rollei Report 2, p.G-589) shows the range of SL-66 serial numbers as 2,900,000 to 2.927,800 for the years 1966 to 1982. I don't know how the numbers were assigned or what the yearly production was. Without knowing that one can't find the exact year of production from the camera number, however, it seems to be a quite late one.
