Heathkit HW-101 Question

[Raccoon]

I recently bought a nice Heathkit HW-101 . Since these were made for so many years , I was wondering if there's any way to tell about what year mine was made ?

Thanks

Those were not made, those were built. Those were kits.
13 year run kits were produced (1970-1983) ...when it was built by owner is anyone's guess

I know the radio itself was constructed by an individual (and whoever built mine did a great job) . But what I was wondering , since the kits were made from 1970 to 1983 ... is if there is anyway to be able to tell a 1970 model from a 1983 model ? Like a serial number , date stamp , updates to the newer models ... something like that .
