Deep maroon could be any time from the mid 1960s up to the 1980s. They went to a lighter, brighter red sometime in the early 80s. You can't tell the year by the number on the reel foot--that's just the part number (shared with the Surfmaster 200, which is where the 200 part of it comes in).

I got my deep maroon one in the early 1970s from Bradlees in Falmouth.
