1983 even. long live patent applications. dont know how i missed this.

Year of patent grant isn’t the same as date released into production. Typically you patent an idea, then figure out how to build it as a product.

Of course I know that, but you have to have a working prototype in order to patent it, to see if your idea works, and if we're talking about 'when was it made' (or designed), 1983 is the year. When was it released? yeah, I don't know that one but I have to go with what Masta'C says, 1988.

About the JD: no idea.
