Thanks for the post of the ad. I thought I had seen this one before but could not find it in my search. As to date of introduction, both October and November is listed as the 'official' launch for the Accutron. I suppose a week one way or the other is not a great issue. What is remarkable is these MO's are now 52 years old and still fa scinate us more than a half century later.
