If the unit has a cooling fan, there is often a date stamped (in ink) on them. I had to replace the fan in my 545B, and once out of the case, I was able to see the date as 1968. The stamping on the aforementioned fan motor was located on the laminated iron core.

Not really ...Tek serial numbers have nothing to do with time
Only way that gets you close is looking at date codes on caps and IC's

Given a model number and a serial number is there a way to look up or
estimate the time of manufacture?
