Hi,There is a rash of WE300B 1950's for sale in eBay recently and wondering how to tell the older porductions from new. Just wondering what are the physical differences between a 1950's WE300B versus a 1970's and new productions. I have a 5713 WE300B and it has a rectnagular getter. I have seen pictures of a 1970's with an O getter. I have also seen that 1950's have 3 letter datecodes (first letter is the last digit of the year and remaining 2 is the week), while others have 4 letters (first 2 letters are years and remianing 2 weeks). Would appreciate any help. Also would one consider 1970's old production. I thought the cutoff was 1988 (?).
