Here are some examples of KJV-only authors asserting non-true claims including this enduring myth concerning KJV editions.
Timothy Morton contended that "the 1762 and 1769 [editions] were to update the spelling" and that "by 1769 whatever slight textual errors that still remained were removed, and the text was finally free from any man-made error" (Which Translation Should You Trust, p. 42). Timothy Morton claimed: “Not one change made in any of the editions of the Authorized Version was to update the language or correct a (supposed) mistranslation” (p. 44). Timothy Morton asserted: “In 1769 the current edition of the King James Bible was published which updated the spelling and removed the last of the ‘typos’” (From the Original Texts, p. 9). Timothy Morton declared: “There is no difference in the hearing between a 1611 edition and today’s 1769 edition except for the very few and usually obvious ‘typos’” (Ibid.).
Al Lacy maintained that "the 1769 edition of the 1611 King James Bible is PERFECT" (Can I Trust My Bible, p. 144). Al Lacy claimed: “The King James Bible we have today is the 1769 edition. You will please note that it is number SEVEN. There has never been another edition since” (Ibid.).
Steve Combs declared: “The KJB went through several editions to correct printer errors and to standardize spelling. The final one was 1769” (So Shall My Word Be, p. 165).
Lawrence Bednar claimed that “the finalized KJB text is inerrant” and that “inerrancy will extent to the final authorized 1769 KJB edition” (Case, p. 102).
Joey Faust maintained that "nothing after 1769 is a true edition" (Common Man‘s Defense of KJV-onlyism, p. 43).
William Sutton maintained that in 1769 “this would be the last time God’s fingerprints ever touched the Holy Bible” (Holy Bible Code, Vol. 7, p. 169). William Sutton claimed: “Upon His completion of the 1769 edition of The Holy Bible the Divine Author permanently departed from His creative work of the Bible. Thus it stands divinely authorized, complete, and perfect” (Ibid.).
