| Hi Tiger!
I´m almost sure that the AL-series was produced during the first half of the 80´s.
I also has a feeling that the "AL" stands for "Aluminium" and in this reel some parts (probably the gearplate)
was made of aluminium instead of brass.
Nice reels!

| If the side plates are aluminum then its from the 80's The older ones have steel sides. |
