Sometime between Jan. 1986 and Jul. 1987.

I think it was made by a guy named Fred Shimski at 10:45 AM on the 15 of January ,1986. Fred was a little hung over because he had celebrated his 36th birthday the night before.

Actually the serial number places it closer to the July 1987 date and Fred had been let go by then.
