The serial number database is woefully out of date but what's in shows that G33 were manufactured on line 23 in May, June, September and November of 1978. The highest serial number listed each month as follows:
May - 215
June - 127
September - 91
November - 95
Sansui also built the G-22 on the same line during those months and may ave built other models as well. The numbers were issued sequentially regardless of the model being built.
That said, I think it's safe to say they built out one model before switching to another. The G22s have higher serial numbers than the G22s the same month so I think its safe to assume the G33s were built first before switching the line to G33s
Then, assuming that each of these production runs started at 0001, the database records 538 G33s built. Does anyone have a G33 that falls outside the serial number range recorded?
