[AT] Case D

[Ralph Goff]

Interesting info about the serial number Gene. I was told by someone who 
sounded like he knew what he was talking about that the first two numbers on 
that little plate down by the instruments indicated the year of manufacture. 
This LA appeared to be a 53 model using that theory but I guess it would be 
a 48?
Serial number was 5329813-175
