The date code is the last digit of the year followed by a letter for the month. So probably '69 ('79) K= October. '73 F= June and 2C is March '72. If I recall, they did not use "I" because it looked like a number "1".

The jack has a date code on the outer arm near the cranking end. The code is the last digit of the year followed by a letter for the month (e.g., 9 M for December 1969)

So a 9K would be1969 Oct 3F would be 1973 June if its a 2C then 1972 March

I am interested in the 9K jack if you don't have plans to use it yourself. PM me if you would like to sell it.

Hello Bills17n72,

Got your PM but did not see anything come through my email regarding photos. Might have to send more than one email depending on size of the attachments? I'll keep checking on this end.... Thank you in advance.
