1, A quick note of what we know so far about holder series:
(my guesswork is marked by ‘?’)
a, H-100x 71’07~06(?)
b, H-200x 70’08(05)~96; 70’12(03)~96
c, H-300x 92~06
d, H-210x 92(?)~06(?)
2,
Of course. I don’t think we care about the reply time, even if we wait a month, as long as the information is accurate. And it would be nice if you can provide them with rough date range
3, Some of the information that I think people are most concerned about could be, the launch and discontinued year of:
H-5005(HAT-500M, オートマチック)
Automatic(HAT-300S-S, オートマティック)(and 03! HAT-300S-S-03)
(05 model, launched in 83’12)
Automac E(HAE-250R, オートマック-E)
(launched in 88’11)
Automac E500(HAE-500M, オートマックE500)
(I heard it was released in '90)
4,
What displayed on archive webpage is H-300x series, in detail, 100x,210x,300x can all be found in archive 2006, and from 07 to 12, only 300x is still there. So, combined with reply from Pilot JP, I guess these three are all discontinued at 06, while what we see during 07~12 is just due to carelessness
What about assuming that content from the catalog is completely credible? since they are revised and printed every year(As long as Pilot staff didn’t miss anything when looking up them)
