[Johnson] Valiant production date by serial number

[Dave Harmon]

According to published advertisements back in the day...I have one
here....the model number for factory assembled transmitters was 240-104-2.
Kits were 240-104.
My tx is much too nice to be a kit and it does not have the -2.
I suppose it's possible to have been a kit but if so I have never seen a kit
assembled this good. 
My s/n is 307??
A few parts had 60' date stamps on them.

I have searched about, and can find no reference on determining a
manufacture year via the serial number.  My 'new' rig carries a model number
of 240-104, and a serial #30798.  It is factory wired and not a kit.  Any
insight is appreciated!
