Does 01/91 sound likely?

If Raymond is not back yet by Brian - that is not a good sign for this board ... and if Raymond is not back BY HIS OWN CHOICE ... then that is an even worse sign for this board.

Thanks Jerry.
Canadian SEARS version.
MAYN101856 throws me right off.
The Building Intelligence Center under YORK year portion is a number not a letter of the alphabet. M(A?)YN101856

As for Ray.
A close friend said next week. Monday likely.
Be happy when he is back. Always good information from Ray.
If he does not post it maybe because he is preoccupied.

Much thanks!

That is where you find the age on Canadian models?

I stared at that but did not want to guess.

You are the king and I am not worthy.

I guessed that "MFD" stood for "manufactured", then there was what looked like a 'date of manufacture' after it.
