i don't think there that old ! at least i hope not or this filter would be 2 years younger then me! i think they were made in 1997-8 i believe not sure i was still learning about HOB filters at that age, but i got it for like 50 hopefully thats not a ripoff =/ lol
Sorry to tell you this, but they were made late 80s to mid 90s.
Here's some links that show OLD posts about it.

I personally think $50 is TOO much for that filter. I've bought a 404 for $40.
Here's a link for the clips from Big Al's, a site I've heard positive reviews from.

I'm rocking two fluval 403 canisters with 3 aquaclear powerhead 50's in a 110 gallon tank. they are very efficient filters and I only had to replace a couple clips here and there from not being careful and one O-Ring for the lid because it was dry-rotted. Tip* Grease the O-ring very lightly with some vaseline to be sure that it seats evenly in the canister.
