Zeta tonearm serial number

Hi,
i would like to ask all of you who have a zeta tonarm to look and post the serial number.
It would be nice to get the mystery behind the se. no., perhaps informations how long the tonearms were produced (till 84 or even till 88) and how many items were made.
Till now i have more than a dozen numbers, there are numbers with 6 and 7 numbers, the first two seems to be the year, perhaps 3. and 4. place the month, but it would be nice, if only the 5.and6. place code the running number, or the last 3 places.
Thanks for any help, you just look for the number at the bottom of the bearing block, on the left side, below the zeta script.
Thanks very much, even if it is kind a stupid thing....
Best regards
Balazs

The Zeta was in high regard in Holland in the 80s and recommended for the Linn LP-12 instead of FR-64s which was considered to be too heavy for the Linn (springs). If I remember well the Zeta was twice as expensive. Even then
the rewiring issue was dominant while nobody mentioned the
bearings problem. Still a very good tonearm but one should consider Audio Origamy (?) in the UK for the bearings check as well for a rewiring option.

Hi Breezer, I at last got my back from my son. He thought
it was a present... The nr. is : 8310758.
Will you elaborate on 'you can rewire any Zeta,it is not difficult?'

Regards,
