I think that micro set can be safely skipped, is this correct?
 
Ahh, spring. 5 weeks seems so close but so far.

We have two other "micro" models in the database. This on is made in Japan so I think I'll put it in.

@BloodyCactus, yup January '70. It was the 1,811th unit off assembly line 02 that month. If you have other Sansui models please use this format to post serial numbers: 4000,020011811,BloodyCactus - Thanks

The serial for A-M7 seems an outlier datewise. I had an obscured image so I looked this type up in the database and this seems a much younger device than the others.

B-209,609069009,reverb

^ ^ ^
Edited Sunday night: An additional B-209!

Notes: the A-1100R is not a receiver. It is another Integrated Amp

**With all the excitement over the B-209, I found a few not in our database.
Identical except for year, a 607119811 already on the list. Coincidence?
[Photo]

If the B-209 was in fact made in the USA, does that mean line number 60 means made in USA? All were made in line 60 from 1997 to 1999. But so were a number of other large equipment a decade(s) earlier made on 60. We have nearly 3000 items listed on line 60 - I think.

Thanks, got 'um. I'm going to run the report on Thursday Feb 1 but it won't be posted in Digital Docs until around 2/8. The guy that handles digital docs will be away until then.

I'm not following the coincidence reference.

I think by the time the B-209s were made, line 60 was a catchall for unusual production. It certainly wasn't in the US.

Thanks, got it!

I'm starting on the January report this morning. Any posts after this one will be in the February report.

I just got a 1000A from the Bay of Malevolence; what might be the serial number is ink stamped on the chassis top on the rear corner beneath the loopstick antenna - RA793. Not sure if that's correct, but I saw a similar format one at the beginning of the s/n spreadsheets, so here goes:

1000A,RA793,Cubdriver

That is a good serial number. It means your 1000A is a very early example built before Sansui adopted the 8 digit serial number. Looking at the 1000A models in the database, it looks like they started the 8 digit serial number about May 1965. So yours is earlier than that.

Thanks, Pete. I figured it might have been an older one. It has only the single bias adjustment pot for the outputs, and I see that the later ones had one for each channel and eventually individual settings for each of the tubes. I think that'll definitely be a mod I'll incorporate once I get it wrung out, cleaned and recapped. Kind of cool to know it's an early example of the breed. I've tried to find a date code I could decipher, but no luck - several of the caps are marked 2408 or 2409, which I'm guessing is one, but perhaps based on a Japanese calendar that I'm not familiar with. According to the seller on eBuy, it came out of a console, so that too kind of jibes with it being an earlier model as those behemoths strike me more as a late 50s-early~mid 60s thing...

The AU-7k7 only has eight digits. Usually I discard serials like these but this one looks legit. Ish.
