    Relay Cover Shucker

    I think it's important to note that this thread dates from 2004. At that time these relays, with PC mount pins where extremely hard to find and expensive when you did find them. The go to source for parts was Digikey and neither they nor Mouser carried them. You had to go to a wholesaler and...

    2017 Sansui Serial Number Database

    I saw it as a slash too. @Richard P, Got it, thanks! I put the serial numbers in manually and added PC and AC to the end to match the model name. We have a number of them on file. I may start adding them to the Decade Duplicate table. The serial numbers in that table get merged in when I...

    Sounds like you have your work cut out for you on that one. As far as the serial numbers, please post both of them. Each serial number, regardless of source or condition, documents a unit produced. The primary purpose of the database is to document production. I'll take serial numbers from...

    Wow, postings this month have picked up. @Monicker1, don't worry about SNs already in the database. Duplicates get filtered out in the upload process. "881,824070001,kijiji.ca, possibly the first one ever made" Yes indeed. We have 88 881s on file the earliest was built in August '74...

    Eight and Eight Deluxe Production Changes

    Thanks, I've added the serial number. All the Eight Deluxe have the relay. It's the Eight that it was added during production. I did add your note about engraving. That was dropped at some point in February '74 production. - Pete

    Looking at the early members that have checked in on this thread, it highlighted a major change to AK that has drastically affected the community. Early on, there were just a handful of sub forums. Members looked at many of the forums interacting with a wider range of members. There are very...

    2017 Sansui Serial Number Database

    @peterott your serial numbers will be in the February report. Thanks @Monicker1, The quotation marks ensure that leading zeros in the serial number won't be dropped. I import the posted data as text rather than numbers which also holds the leading zeros. I remove the quotation marks in the...

    G-7000 vs 8080(or 9090) and Eight/Eight Deluxe

    A controlled environment will slow down the aging process but it doesn't stop it. If we are talking about buying one of these nearly 50 year old pieces you have no way of knowing how it was stored/used/not used during that time. It would be the rare piece that spent that 50 years in a...

    G-7000 vs 8080(or 9090) and Eight/Eight Deluxe

    I couldn't disagree more. It's totally dependent on the temperature and humidity of how it is stored. These units wind up in basements, attics, garages and sheds. None of these spaces are temperature and humidity controlled. High temperatures will degrade the caps and humidity will degrade...
