Dunno wozzup with Catawacky. Only one new serial and three duplicates which have been duly removed. Prolly due to totally unrealistic price reserves ("Reserve price not met"). Marktplaats "only" had eight duplicates (out of 20).
 
@Monicker1 and @PE9ZZ, no worries, I'll take what you have. You don't have to spend a lot of time finding duplicates. I've developed a robust process to find and eliminate them. It's something I do routinely during the upload process.

C-2301,608043855,karik57

This C-2301 was already fitted with a new Sansui logo. My own C-2301 from August 1987 still has the original logo. So the logo changed somewhere between August 1987 and April 1988.

All the Sansui SP-5000A speakers were produced in the seventies, not in the sixties. Please correct to the database.

I've often wondered exactly when the logo changed. That's good information. The issue with the SP-5000A is a classic "decade error." Since Sansui only allocated one digit in the serial number for the year of manufacture, a decade reference is tied to each model name. When the first SP-5000As were added to the database in 2005, the decade reference was set too early. In the early days of the database there wasn't much reference information available on the internet. Even today it can be hard to nail down a decade for the more obscure models.

Thanks for pointing out the error. It's been updated and will be correct in the July Database Report.

When I read this thread I got the idea that I can post serial numbers from pictures in the internet as well. I don't have to own them. If this is correct, here is a list of what I found. Of course there must be lots of duplicates but I understood that you have a process to delete them, so I didn't check them.

Also I found a few errors in the database. When you find the time you may want to correct them
There are 10 items of SP-L800 and their serial numbers start with 970.... Half of them are marked as 1977 which is correct but the rest are marked as 1975.
One SP-X8000 (97110646) should be 1977, not 1978.
Two SP-X11000 have a decade error (900060257 and 900060041), should be 1980, not 1970.

Sorry that I'm a nuisance. Here's my list:

That's all.
 
I don't have to own them.
It might be thought that you do own them from those entries. See what @LBPete says about it, but the source of each entry (i.e. ebay, etc) is usually what people indicate for the username part of the entry. ;)

Well Done! for producing the list. :)

Thank you for your remark. I stand corrected. I'm new on this thread and I didn't know the practice.

I will post the same list again tomorrow with sources instead of my username.

You are not being a nuisance, thanks for pointing these out. The data has been updated and will be correct in the July report. There is a long history of AK members "harvesting" serial numbers from the internet. This practice is as old as the database itself and I apprecate the effort.

As Hyperion has pointed out, for "harvested" serial numbers, I'd prefer to have the source of the serial number in the third field. Save your user name for units you actuall own. Minor errors in posted serial numbers come up when I'm processing the months data. Having the source helps me find the original listing to cross check a questionable serial number.

Thanks!

- Pete
 
This is a new list, please disregard that earlier list.
I made a couple of additions too, including that C-2301 which I mentioned in my earlier post. I put ebay.de as a source but it was there over 10 years ago.

A problematic item is QRX-7001,235100399. It was mine over 20 years but finally I sold it to a second-hand hifi shop. Someone bought it from there. The shop keeper retired in 2014 and the shop doesn't exist anymore. In this list the item still has my username because I don't know what to put there. Shall I put "unknown"? The serial number is absolutely correct.

@karik57, Thanks for reformatting your first list. That must have taken some time to recreate. Looking at the sources of the serial numbers, I don't recall seeing those auction site names before. You may be on to new sources. I'll know more when I process this months serial numbers. I plan to do that today.

- Pete

Sorry, you missed it by about an hour. But no worries, it's the first post for the August upload.

@karik57,your list was perfect. Almost no duplicates with existing data. There was a significant conflict. There was a QRX-1500 with the same serial number as 310,822070085. This type of conflict is fairly common and it's always a dilemma to determine which of the two serial numbers has the error. I was able to find the 310 on the classicaudio.fi website and confirmed it had the correct serial number and deleted the QRX-1500. It had been in the database too long to trace back.

Thank you, good to hear.

However almost all of the items in those websites were "sold" items over the years, so there's not gonna be many new items. Of course I will follow those websites and post whenever new items become for sale. And I will post from other websites as well.
