Hi, Mica!

Any information would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi Gladone,

SN # 1632 is made in 1980. (from around 1500 in 1980)
If you got it in your hand now, check the SN again.
The serial number stumps is often difficult to identified. or take a picture and upload on this thread.
Please show the photos, I might be able to  tell you something If I remember it.

Another way, 80' 1612 MSB on Maple is now on the shop.

Eiji from Tokyo Japan

Mica,
"My bad" as they would say in the parlance of our time. The # is 79 1362 NOT 1632.
Thank you for your patience.
