Notes

possible date made: 1970s (where did the 1970s estimate come from?) serial number: 4478? The dating of this machine is tricky. The E-meter was not invented by L. Ron Hubbard, but he did have it adapted for his church's uses after parting ways with the original creator. Based on patent info and Wikipedia, the Hubbard versions seem to have begun to be patented in the 1960s.
