Hi BB, both Jack and I came to the same conclusion, we need a good clear close-up pic of the fitted ID Plate to this machine and compare the serial numbers....
Here is a pic of the model range for 1974-1975, you will notice that the 3 SB Model 45's mentioned all have early model numbers....for the 14", 17", and the 20". Notice that the illustration is of a
solid deck machine and that the Model 33 is still being produced and sold...In 1975, it was deleted from the product range.
