Default Hardy Golden Prince

Has anyone got an instruction leaflet for the Hardy Golden Prince. Or could someone advise me on how to change from right hand to right hand wind?
Also when did Hardy make this reel?
Any help on this would be much appreciated.

You simply reverse the pawl to change hand, also, swap the check adjuster stop screw into the 'L' hole

I'm not sure when they were first made but I have a 7/8 which I got new in (I think) the late 80's

Thanks. I will have a go at those operations.
