Default Automatic Radio 8 Track - Model Number AR-206

Does anyone know what year the Automatic Radio AR-206 8 Track came out? I am restoring a 1967 Impala Super Sport and want to be period correct on what 8 track I install. Got this AR unit cheap and it works, but I'd like to know a date. Thanks much!

I'd open it up and look at the electrolytic capacitors - they are often marked with a date.

And the same goes for the motor (sometimes).
