Zeta tonearm serial number

Hi,
i would like to ask all of you who have a zeta tonarm to look and post the serial number.
It would be nice to get the mystery behind the se. no., perhaps informations how long the tonearms were produced (till 84 or even till 88) and how many items were made.
Till now i have more than a dozen numbers, there are numbers with 6 and 7 numbers, the first two seems to be the year, perhaps 3. and 4. place the month, but it would be nice, if only the 5.and6. place code the running number, or the last 3 places.
Thanks for any help, you just look for the number at the bottom of the bearing block, on the left side, below the zeta script.
Thanks very much, even if it is kind a stupid thing....
Best regards
Balazs

You might want to post this on the Pink Fish Media site. Since it's a UK site, several folks over there use the Zeta, and might be able to steer you toward the necessary resources to accurately date your arm. Good listening,

Hi Breezer,

I am a fellow Zeta owner, I think the arm is great; too bad I'm one of few that had that opinion. I chose it over the Alphason S shaped arm that was all the rage in the mid 80's.

I purchased it from Reference Monitor International, Carlsbad, Ca. March, 18th, 1986. I have the original box, invoice,and specifications. There is no serial number on the arm. I used a mirror to check on the bottom of the arm block but saw nothing. I plan on installing it on a SOTA Millenium table I bought at the CES. If I find one someplace, I'll let you know.

regards,Ken Fritz

My Zeta's serial number is 8310694. Does that mean it was manufactured in Oct. 1983?
