Jr. Doubt the build date had anything to do w/the final finish on the CT-100 cabinets. Probably more to do w/the skill of the person applying the toner/lacquer or even the lateness of a shift and a tired employee. Much the same as any mass produced product during the pre automation era & tireless robots of today. Many RCA cabinets & chassis were pulled from the line during final inspection for repair.
