*** How to date your Sansui***

My AU-505:
sn 834012250
works perfectly: January 1974, unit 2250 off the line (still have the receipt, March '74). I notice chilchil dates his (her?) AU-555 as 1969, does the 555 really predate the 505?

Yes, the AU-555 predates the AU-505. It also predates the AU-517 which came after the 505. There was not always consistency in the model numbers.

Thread resurrection time.

I currently have three Sansui's:

Sausui 4000
Serial # 029101895
October, 1969
#1895

Sansui Eight
Serial # 222060097
June, 1972
#0097

Sansui 881
Serial # 825051781
May, 1975
#1781

I was born two months after the 881. I have the original bill of sale it, which was given to me by the original owner. He bought it on New Year's Eve, 1975.
 
I think he was banned, or at least went to another audio site - permanently.

Gentle reminder - no comments allowed on moderation decisions.
 
So my Sansui 790's serial number is 217010289
Built in January 1977, unit 289 rolling out of assembly line 21.
 
Finally got around to dating mine. I was in 6th grade when the 1000A was built and in Navy Boot camp for the 2000X.

1000A.....April 1966 serial # 16027920
2000.......August 1968 serial # 018081953
2000A.....Nov 1969 serial # 829110997
2000X.....July 1973 serial # 813071557
