Nooo, I'm not saying how to take your receiver out on the town to dinner & a movie
Instead, what I mean is I have a vital piece of information that I'm sure most of you who own a Sansui model (or even if you dont) would be interested to know-> how to determine when it was made.
I have known about this for a while but never said anything because the person who told me said very few people know the "seceret". And he asked me to keep the info private. But as it turns out- someone Online asked about it and someone else wrote the answer- so I 'm no longer bound to keep the info private.
Sooo, without further ado'- here is how to determine when your Sansui was made and as an example, I will use the serial number of one of my models: a Sansui AU-919.
The serial # on my AU-919 is: 229100105
The first two digits, 22, is the Assembly Line Factory number.
The 3rd digit refers to the year it was made-> ( 9 means 197->9.)
The 4th and 5th digits refer to the month- so, 10 means October.
The last four digits, 0105 means its the 105th one.
So: 229100105 is an October 1979 model. You need two digits for the month as obviously October, November and December have two digits. (A February 79 model would instead be: 22902....) Get it?
