I have a new to me Squire. It has the following ID number:

IC 4060xxx85 ( I put the xxx in). So I can tell that it was from Indonesia - by Cort. But the year would be either 1940 (not likely) or 2040 ( sent back from the future).
I can not find anything that will help me figure out the story in the numbers. Can anyone offer some advise?

I want to rework the pots, etc. but I hope to have more info first.

Many Thanks in advance

I remember reading somewhere (this forum?) that the first zero was factory omitted from many Asianmade serial numbers, so that principle would place your guitar to 2004.
Does that sound plausible?

Well it is a possible explaination. Do you know of any way to verify that? It does make sense. Thanks.
