DD question

Post by Salty Stones »

Working on a DD, owner wonders what year it might be. Is a c250 with B4515 stamped into the top of the motorboard, any info is appreciated!

Your question should be posted in the Machines section, not Yankee Trader. This section is for posts regarding buying and selling items.

Having said that, when you post in Machines, please post the serial number from the ID plate on the machine. I know that one of our members has been compiling data on the C250 and C19 and has approximated the serial number ranges for each year of production.

You'll need the "dataplate" of the C250, which is found on the lefthand side of the turntable compartment, which has the serial number of the machine.

From that number, the approximate month and year can be determined by using the comprehensive production estimate spreadsheet for the C 250/C 19 that can be viewed by the public through the link below:
