This seems to have been a weird period at Tokai. Quite a few changes in what had been consistent & predictable production patterns.
Partial list:
Logo went from Spaghetti>Block>Script style (end of 1982>1984)
4, 5, & 6 digit serial number TST AST & Goldstars (not Fender style system. 1985?).
Serial numbers embossed on plastic trem cover on some Silver Stars (1984 & 1985)
Change in production code symbol from "=" to "-" (1985>)
Love Rock model changes and inconsistencies including use of sycamore on tops instead of maple on some guitars (1983>).
Any others?
