[pedro]

Can anyone help with the seria number 5-DP-8835_BB

Is it from the 80's?

[DJD]

Pedro,
If I remember correctly the first 5 indicates it was made in 1975,85 or 95. Duplexs were introduced in 1966 and the
designator changed to two digits in 2000. The Questar Corporation will tell you which if you contact them with
the serial number. They maintain details of registered owners.
Best wishes,
David

Thanks
