I don't have the rear cover with date.Maybe customer can look. On side of chassis box there's a square sticker: MR'S 25-03-99 2DO TURNO. ser# 912641268L. Customer just said sticker on rear says made in March, 1999. On the dead/fuse blows issue I will start with a new main reg Q14101 (237469) and see,tho it seems OK. Phil Bader "Phillip R.
