Mine is *2J1294etc...
It was made in 2002. Does the J mean it was made in the 10th month,
October?

You know I think you are right... J is October and my L is December.

The 1294 is the model number and is the same as mine---interesting... no
changes to the R8B between December 1997 and October 2002.

Gosh... it's been a long time... I just can't be sure about it.
