Please don't stop. I like your enthusiasm and I guarantee I felt the same way when I first got my 1665.

My 1981 Frecionne has open 6s and 9s which surprised me somewhat.

Does anyone know when the open 6s and 9s were discontinued ?

Regards

Mick

I think well into the 80s. My 1665 is 8xxxxxx making it 1983/4. I'm sure the real experts will jump in
