How can I determine the date of production on one of these? There's no visible serial number, and no ICs with date codes - also, the pots have nothing of value (except their value ) stamped on them. Any thoughts??

The AF-100 is listed on this page of the 1978 product catalogue:

http://brochures.yokochou.com/keyboard-and-effector/roland/1978/en_p3738.html

I don't think I've seen it anywhere else. Hope that helps.

The article at

http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/nov04/articles/roland.htm

suggests that it started production in 72..

That makes sense - it does look older than '78. "Bee-baa" indeed. Ahaha.
