Harrison M300 serial number

[Crazeewelder]

can anyone shed a light on when my Harrison M300 was made?
Serial number is 309953, lathes.co.uk give a list of years/numbers but only up to 1990.
Any help appreciated.

301230 is listed on my list as 1991, I believe Harrison listed the first serial number of each year.

So what year does that put my machine at?

If you really must know the year, I suggest maybe a phone call to 600 Group PLC and see if they have a more up to date list.

Thanks for the help zzr1200.
BTW 600 group plc are now Colchester Machine Tool Solutions in case you ever need to contact them.
Thanks again.

Not necessarily, I suspect. My M300 has the serial number 308146. I acquired it in about 1995 and it was old and quite battered then. I too would very much like to know when it was built. It is a dual calibration machine (metric/imperial) with an imperial lead screw. Possibly these lathes used a different series of numbers.
