Thanks guys! Got 'um! - Pete

Yup, one on the box and one on the warranty card packed with the unit. I've entered serial numbers from those external sources. - Pete

Thank you Sir! - Pete

@eiraved, I never would have seen it there. Thanks for the link. It sounds like it bypasses some of the traces on the board but without digging into it I couldn't say for sure. - Pete

Thanks, got it! Your AU-505 was built on production line 83 in April 1974. It was the 905th unit off that line that month. Line 83 also produced TU-2000s and AU-2000s that month. It looks like most units produced on that line at that time were built by contractors as indicated by T-tags...

Thanks, got it! Your 2000X was manufactured on production line 81 in February of 1972. It was the 338th unit produced on that line that month. Line 81 was also producing AU-7500s and QR-1500s that month. - Pete

If you can't see or read a digit, make your best guess and add a note. Then I know what to do with that serial number. All of the serial numbers are in an Access database. I use a second Access database to process the new serial numbers. I copy and paste the posted serial numbers to a Word...

I don't know what you mean by K terminal bypass. Please enlighten me. - Pete

Here's the March stats: 804 serial numbers posted. 644 new serial numbers added to the database. Most of the duplicates were already in the database but there were some that couldn't be processed. P-50M,345010532,kleinanzeigen Couldn't find this model SC-1110G,248090430,kleinanzeigen...

I don't know if this bulletin was issued in the US or just Europe. Regardless, the changes were implemented in production. It's obviously gone a long time without the upgrade but it could also fail tomorrow. The components in your 9090 are almost 50 years old. How lucky do you feel? - Pete

Thanks. I'm going to start processing this months submissions this morning. Looks like about 800 serial numbers. - Pete

Thanks, got it! Your AU-7900 was built in April of 1977. It was the 631st unit off assembly line 22 that month. In additon to producing AU-7900s, line 22 was also producing AU-607s and AU-707s that month. - Pete

We need to give @Overundr1 his thread back. Sorry for the hijack. - Pete

Looking at that board in post #11, there are three caps on the top right that have overheated as indicated by the cover shrinking and exposing more of the aluminum case. They need to be replaced too. - Pete

Not sure what screws you need. The screws that hold the output transistors are stainless steel 3mm screws. I forget the length. I don't have those but do have the most common chassis screws and can provide an assortment. I also have reproduction feet. Contact me through a private message...
