Vick, According to Lager, post 134xxxx, which also indicates that the proper glue was used to secure the metering cell to the arm. Mine dates from 1972 and falls within this range, and has always performed flawlessly. During a CLA two years ago Sherry found a weak mirror mount which was going to fail. This she replaced along with the battery compartment. She also did some minor repairs to the Vulcanite, so today it appears almost new.
