When Does the Third Audio-Drama "The Time Machine" (1997) Take Place?

"The Time Machine" is a science fiction audio-drama written by Nat Segaloff [adapting "The Time Machine" (1895) by H.G. Wells] that released April 1st, 1997. So when is "The Time Machine" set? 


It takes place in the year: 

802701 AD 


We know this because John, the Time Traveler, claims that after his very first trip through time, "My gauge showed that I was in the year 802701." 

Additionally, there is a prologue and John tells us at the very beginning: "After all, it's nearly 1900, a new century"... So it is before 1900 AD, probably in the 1890s AD during the prologue.
