Interesting sticker. We have 26 SC-2110s on file. None were built on line 69. In fact we only have two other serial numbers on file beginning with 69, a SAX-300 and an A-1200. I'm inclined to put it in but in addition to the odd production line, the month fields are invalid, they can't both be zeros. Could the second zero be a 9? Are there any other identifying tags or labels on the back panel?

No, none:
320788d7-9706-4c8c-8c15-11e9709b9e4c.jpg

The actual listing is here.

The fifth digit really does look like a zero because of its width. Impossible though to tell for sure. If this truly is an actual Sansui label there must have been a calamity with the labeling machine

Pete has really been doing an amazing job all this time to maintain such an ongoing database.

Just curious, perhaps I need to take a better look, but I was curious on how the monthly production totals compare between the US vs Japanese models.

For example, the s/n's and totals for a G-9000 vs G-901 (and db vs non db), or G-9700 vs G-971, or the AU's, such as AU-317 vs AU-307.

I imagine most folks are providing more info on the non Japanese models, so it might be easy to overlook that Sansui was also cranking out models back then for their native
country, not just the US and Europe (220V) etc, that is until their business misfortunes caught up to them in the 1990's and their presence outside of Japan dropped off sharply.

Interesting, were the parts combined by an owner or was the wrong voltage selector cover put on at the factory? I'm going to enter it as an 8010.

I have no easy way to compile that data. It's beyond my coding skills. I can give you total counts but not monthly. Also, the database doesn't directly reflect actual production, it's just what has been reported. The G models you mention represent different trim versions and have nothing to do with what country they were sold in. The big receivers were never popular in Japan.

Here's another example of two different units with the same serial number.

This G-22000 tuner was advertised on Reverb as "tuner only." The amp wasn't included with it.

This G-22000 amp was reported by AK member @Audiophan1.

They both have serial number 238110212. Now I'm beginning to wonder how often this occurred. Until recently I didn't think it was possible and now we have two examples. Over the time I've managed the database, I've seen many "duplicates" but passed them off to hard to read SN labels. Now I'm not so sure.

I thought I found an ad showing the two halves of a G-22000 having identical SNs on Kijiji here in Canada

https://www.kijiji.ca/v-stereo-systems-home-theatre/calgary/sansui-g22000/1680190762. The serial numbers are not clear enough to be definitive.

To my little mind, it would make sense if a matching pair were considered as one with identical SNs.

But maybe I am wrong. As I see an ad on Reverb showing a combo for sale with different serial numbers. But does that mean that systems like the G-22000 and G-33000 series should be differentiated between receiver preamp vs Power amp??
