I've got a 5500 from 1964 and from what I've read I recall 1972 being the last date of production.

But don't quote me on it as I couldn't find the same article when I searched this morning.....

from Philips thread point number:

6) Genuine examples were produced only from 1958 to 1967

don't know if this is chiseled in stone but seems reasonable
