10,000 Serial Number Milestone

It's official, the Sansui Serial Number Database has now topped 10,000 serial numbers! As of October 31, 2020 we have compiled 10,335 unique serial numbers representing 1,079 distinct Sansui models. The monthly Sansui Database Report resides in Digital Docs and can be accessed with this LINK.

October was a record month for serial number submissions with 446 serial numbers posted. (365 of those serial numbers were posted by AK member Reidy12) When duplicates were removed there were able to add 396 new serial numbers to the database.

A tip of the hat to our two super posters, AK members Reidy12 and Oilmaster. These two members have been scouring the internet worldwide to "harvest" serial numbers and have significantly increased the number of Japanese Domestic Models on file. Although these and several others have been regular contributors to the database, every serial number is important. Even if posted one by one.

Some background on the Database. It was originated by AK member and former Sansui Forum moderator @Morden2004 around 2003. He maintained the database until December of 2009. At that time there were 5,448. Since the Database was revived in March of 2017, AK members have nearly doubled the number of serial numbers on file.

The database is valuable resource that can help determine the date range of manufacture of Sansui products. It can also give an idea of how many of a particular model were produced. The accuracy of this type of information is directly dependent on the quantity of serial numbers on file. The more serial numbers we collect, the more accurate the information supplied by the database.

Please post new serial numbers in the 2017 Sansui Database Thread located in the Sansui Equipment Database forum. You can access it from the link at the top of the main page for the Exclusively Sansui Forum.

When posting serial numbers please use this format: Model,Serial Number,AK User Name. It should look like this: 9090DB,821234567,LBPete Please only use commas to separate the values, no spaces, nothing other than model,serial number,username

Keep the new serial number coming!

Thanks Rob.

RoundRockRob, Your serial number has been added to this month's list.

SP-X8000 has a date error.
Thanks for pointing that out. The decade reference was a year off. It will be corrected in the November report. If you see these kinds of errors, let me know so they can get fixed.

Kinda thought that the pages and pages start looking similar and another set of eyes is welcome. I caught that one, others post if they find any, helping to make your document better. Keep up the good work.
 
Thanks for your commitment to this project! Is anyone doing this for any of the other big name brands? Yamaha, Pioneer, Sony ect...
 
Pete, Thanks, for creating a reference point.

and.... more challenging.. maintaining it..
 
Hi Pete, I appreciate the "tip of the hat" but like you I do it for the love of the Sansui era that I have adopted, in particular the "7" rack mountable series. My general interest in that era covers all the Sansui lines......I really enjoy finding and taking a look at this equipment - you could say a bit addictive. :rflmao: I reckon I'm not alone here!!
Congratulations to you Pete for supporting this fascination in such a productive way, 10K entries is what you have achieved and we all benefit.

I use my Sansui every day [with a bit of JBL], I feel rewarded and vindicated and I feel great. Cheers to all AKers, enjoy enjoy enjoy.....
