The answer to the commission number question can be found at the VTR web
pages
http://www.vtr.org/TR3/TR3-production.html
<http://www.vtr.org/TR3/TR3-production.html> but in short early 30,000
would be mid 1958 probably around May/June.
I don't have one handy, but I think the TRF catalog gives the break
point on the bullet nose starter. Or a spares parts manual. If you
don't get an answer before this evening; I can find out for you. I do
know that the flywheel assy was changed at TS50001; could have been done
at that time but I think that is late.

Hello list:
Trying to help a friend with his TR. It is a low 30,000 no. and
is
registered as a 1960.
Also has the bullet nose starter (broken!). Anyone have any
idea of the
comm. nos. roughly related to years of production? Any ideas as
well on
when the bullet nose starter was discontinued? My idea is that
this is an
early 3A, and if it is a "1960", it was sitting around a dealers
show room
for some time.
Thanks in advance for any help with this.
