I'd trust Clausager over me, for sure!
Come to think of it, the ones I saw sans cooler at shows probably were
'63-'65.
One butchered '70 too, don't know why, other than the cooler clogged and it
was too expensive to replace or in a desperate attempt to raise OP, when it
was something else at fault. I'll shut up now!
