Default Tung Sol Hazard Flasher Date Code

Would like to confirm that the date code "717" on my Tung Sol #515 hazard flasher converts to the the 17th week of 1967.
Thanks,
Rick

I think the jury is still out on those date codes.

I've seen some that have a letter preceeding the numbers. That letter is supposed to denote the plant where it was made. Apparently Tung Sol had a couple of locations.

Yours has no letter.

So, my answer is that I don't know for sure.

Here's one that has H 5 6 3

This is a "373" flasher
