Welcome to AudioKarma Exclusively Sansui and making serial numbers your first post.

That's a very interesting piece. There is no specific category for furniture but we do have some of the vertical racks on file. If it has a conventional Sansui serial number I'll add it in. I didn't see a serial number in any of the photos.

BA-3000, 246070068, audiolab1

This seems to be the latest production serial number in the current database. Is there any way to find out when production ended for the BA-3000?

Yup, it looks like it is the latest one on file. We don't have any actual factory production records. The serial numbers in the database are our best record of production. It's a big reason the database was started. The addition of your serial number pushes the production range three month's longer. For low production units like the BA-3000, Sansui tended to build them in batches. In 1976 we know they were produced in February, April and yours was produced in July '76. So that adds another production batch. We need more serial numbers to get a better picture.

Looking at what was being built on production line 24 in 1976, they were building BA-5000s and CA-3000s in June and July. We only have four BA-3000s built on line 24 in '76, yours and three built in April. The BA-3000s built in February '76 were on line 23. In July of '76, the month your BA-3000 was made, we only have serial numbers from two CA-3000s built on line 24. They are #0128 and 0190. Yours was # 0068 so it was built before the CAs. There were probably 100 or so BA-3000s built that month. The only way to get a better picture is to record more serial numbers!

Hope that helps.

We currently have 6 AU-9500s on file that were built in 1975. Yours makes 7 and is the most recent one we know of. Being built in October it expands the known production range by 3 months.

One of the benefits of moderating the database is you learn about some of the more obscure models. The 700CD-R is actual a single piece of a multi component audio system. Sansui used the 700CD-R model name on all the components in the system. There is no model designation difference between the amp, the tuner, the cassette deck, CD player or the speakers. In this case, each will work as a stand alone component and it's a real problem to catalog them in the database. I have to add an identifier to the model name such as 700CD-R (A) for amplifier.

There are other models you that are being sold as stand alone components that are powered by companion components in the audio system. Since they cannot operate as a stand alone component, I'm not going to try to track those separately with maybe the exception of the speakers.

That said, your contributions have expanded the database by hundreds of units many of which were not cataloged before. Keep them coming.
