Gentleman, thanks. I have viewed the posting on the Crites website and a post from a Klipsch forum member Groomlakearea51 on this topic. They appear to disagree with respect to letter codes "A" through "H" as shown below. Groomlakearea51 does reveal the background behind their research, which does appear extensive. Thanks again for any further insight.

Crites website posts this information...

1962-1983 Letter format

A = 1962 F = 1967 K = 1972 R = 1977 X = 1982

B = 1963 G = 1968 L = 1973 S = 1978 Y = 1983

C = 1964 H = 1969 M = 1974 T = 1979

D = 1965 I = 1970 N = 1975 U = 1980

E = 1966 J = 1971 P = 1976 W = 1981

...while an excerpt from Groomlakearea51's post: shows this:

"YEAR OF MANUFACTURE (1955 THROUGH 1983 ONLY)

A = 1955-63* F = 1968 L = 1973 S = 1978

B = 1963-64* G = 1969 M = 1974 T = 1979

C = 1965 H = 1970 N = 1975 U = 1980

D = 1966 J = 1971 P = 1976 W = 1981

E = 1967 K = 1972 R = 1977 X = 1982

Y = 1983


* Cornwall's & La Scala's used "A" 1963 and "B" for 1964; the first Cornwall to use a letter code was 3A09, shipped in August of 1963."
