Concerning your radio, it might be from the early '70's. The first digit of the four digit model number (in your case, the underlined portion of the number) is usually the year. In this case, it would be 1972. '72 Sounds about right, since it uses "KHz", instead of "KC" for frequency designation.

Thanks, that was pretty helpful information, I had no idea it was that late, I was assuming it was from the late 1960s because of the fact that the style of the unit seems to scream "Jetsons", or "Brady Bunch" which was from the 1960s.
