Barry, long shot but would you happen to know the run of serial numbers where they changed to Chinese production? I'm looking at a 909 on auction site with the serial: 9090851.

I presume the 909 dictates the model so it looks to be number "851" (which seems pretty early in the production run to me but I could be wrong).

I will continue to scour the internet for the answer but thought I'd ask the Fount Master all the same.

Thanks for your help.
