I just got my DHs grandmothers white rotary. You have to call Husquevarna-Viking to get the date. The number is:800-446-2333. I haven't called yet to date mine. There are parts missing and no cabinet. SIL was going to throw it out- nooooo! Said it didn't work. I said how do you know when there are parts missing? Don't know if they're somewhere in MILs garage or not. But i rescued what I could find and worry about the rest later.
