I think many assumed the bot was created in June 1978 because of the PTT Inc 1978 tag, but the photo taken for Winchester Pasqually ALSO has it.

I would assume if there was any other evidence it would be from an interview or correspondence with Harold Goldbrandsen.

If anyone knows please tell me.

There is a discrepancy since the Winchester V1 Pasqually was made in 1977 and as I know there are no Winchester V2 Pasqually Portrait Bots.

I would assume the nameplates were updated after the Warner breakoff deal, seeing as the original nameplates didn’t have that byline.

It’s possible that the new nametags were manufactured alongside the updated Chuck, Crusty and (potentially) Warblettes to replace the Atari copyrights in the corners of the frames.

Also evidence is being gathered that the Winchester V2 Chuck E. & Crusty were produced in the Summer of 1977.

If Pasqually also has June '78, then I’d guess it’s probably a copyright renewal of the animatronics or characters, if they even did anything like that. Just a wild guess
