Hi.

I want to purchase a used Model D but cannot make head or tail of the year based on the info given to me by the seller.

Date code 2562005
Serial # 300033996

Can someone tell me what year this is?

Thanks

To me it looks like the 25th of June, 2005.

Thanks Bob.

I was expecting to see a "/" in the serial number based on what I'd read elsewhere. Also, what the seller is the serial number does not exactly seem correct.

I dunno.

The date codes can be a bit strange sometimes and the later versions of the PM3 made in 2009 had stickers on the outside of the case that don't seem to line up with the datecode in memory. The main thing is it is a 2005 machine. they may have one to many zeros in the serial number.
