Pick this thing up at the thrift store for $25. Any info for this machine would be much appreciated. What year is it too?

That's really cool, Scott!
Looks like it would clean up nicely too, if you're so inclined.

So it's from around Circa 1971-1972
Pretty cool mower and cuts well.

Scott,
You are correct that the RE-199T is at least a 1971 model; it replaced the former RE-189T Lawn Champ sold for 1969 and 1970.
I think your mower sounded pretty good for being 53 years old!
Here's a video of my 1983 Sears Craftsman 914126 (same as the Sunbeam 4318):

Pretty neat mower you got there Ben. I'm glad these older mowers are keeping up with today's generation.
