Hello:
Is there any way to date Simplex XL projectors. I am trying to find out when my machines were built. Would the serial number hold any answers?

Thanks

Either John Eickoff or Dick Prather might be able to help you out on that. What are the SN's?

And while we're waiting for John or Dick to weigh in, try this old thread:

Dating a Simplex

It was fun reading all the other "dating" comments there. [Big Grin]

[Edit] Oops. Didn't see that John already posted a link to that thread. I'madope.
