I usually just call up this thread that discusses it.
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=499&p=23460&hilit=Fenwick+serial+decoding#p23460“P” should be 1976-77. I always thought “K” (1972-1973) marked the beginning of the three-digit models, which makes sense, since my FF705 is an “L”.
Incidentally, it looks like “H” might mark the beginning of the Voyageur label since my FF70-4 “H” has it, but not the “G” FF80-4 (unless, of course, they only labeled the shorter rod as Voyageur then, although they put the label on my FF756-4 by the time “R” came around).
