2017 Sansui Serial Number Database

With my archiwum haul I'm only at 22 July 2018 so 2018H2 is not going to happen this month... But maybe 40k anyway.
 
kw26 - only parts as the rest is on a different PC and will be added here in 10 hours...

Thanks everyone for posting.

@peterott, I run the report on the last day of the month. These just missed the June report by a few hours. I still appreciate the serial numbers, they will be in the July report.

Here are the June stats:

872 posted
35 duplicates in that batch
696 new serial numbers entered
5 new models added

Here are some that fell out:

AT-15L,9V2,Reidy12,ebay.com.au
AX-3B,9V2,Reidy12,ebay.com.au
I've stopped putting these in because they don't have valid serial numbers. 3 digits just isn't unique enough. This whole range of equipment reuses serial numbers, we already have a couple 9V2s

These are nice cassette boom boxes but they are modern reproductions made in China with the Sansui name.
Sansui did make boomboxes. They are super rare and very desirable to collectors.

These are actually nice looking bookshelf speakers but they just have wire coming out of the back, no terminals. That generally means they are part of some mini system and were never intended to be sold separately. That puts them in a category with a bunch of cheap speakers that I don't include in the database.

B-3000,50807000,,kleinanzeigen Missing a digit

SE-7,8301120030,Reidy12,FB Sansui Lounge Too many digits, also are you sure it's 83 not 82

310,822070087,marktplaats.nl this one conflicts with an AU-6500 in the database can you verify the serial number?

I'd also like to revisit the importance of accuracy. I spent a lot of time chasing an example of a C-11 that wasn't listed in the Model Master List. It turned out to be a C11, no dash. It's correctly in the Master List as C11 but Access looks at every digit and space so it didn't match. To be fair I read past the dash too which added to the overall time to figure it out.

As of today we have 38,925 total serial numbers in the database. We probably won't hit 40K in July but it's looking good for August. Keep in mind that we have about a 20% duplicate rate with SNs already in the database. It's getting harder to find new serial numbers. Post 1,000 SNs and you can only expect 800 new ones.

Pete, here is my post from kw22 - June 3rd, without any digit missing:
B-3000,508070006,kleinanzeigen
And one week later, the model got "sent back to the front" by the owner in kleinanzeigen and I added it again in my kw23 mail but forgot to write down the last digit... oh well. At least the model is in from the 3rd of June post.

Agreed on the S-X30. They really look decent, but yeah, trash the model :D

Seventh digit could also be a 9:

Would be consistent with the serialz already in the database. The conflicting one as well. I looked long and hard at this fuzzy pic. Feel free to discard.

As for the duplicates, I would have expected a much higher ratio. Maybe other harvesters also do a prescreening before posting. I cannot do a full prescreening with the PDF version (individual serialz work fine) but if the original MS Access database (or an XLS or ODS version of it) were available I could use it to weed out even more duplicates.

Continuing my Archiwum run. Now at 22.08.2018 (G-5k with a serial obscured by its ferrite rod! Aaaaaagh!)

Pete, 2 corrections, both should have been picked up in my numerous syntax checking runs [excel delimited date imports and visual].

I agree that the 3 digit serial components are a problem which is why I included photos, won't update with any more if I find them.

SCR-3 cassette radio are indeed a rare find, first for me and I thought they might be of interest!

C11 and M11, my apologies as I should have picked that up as photo was very clear but once listed it was easy to dismiss as looked OK.

With 4 errors from 550 is 0.73%...it's clear I need to get better! Added some photos for info.

40K getting closer....that will be SOME milestone with no small thanks to your massive input in running the show :cool:

Cheers from down under, 1 degree C this morning....but the Sun is shinning all day :)

Thanks guys, these serial numbers will be in the July report available in early August.

Your SD-7000 was built on assembly line 24 in October of 1971. It was the 814th unit off that line that month. The data doesn't show any other models built on line 24 that month so with a production number over 800 they were building a lot of these classic reel to reel decks.

There is no MC-X55 on the
Sansui list, AFAIK!

The B-3000 is added to the July file. No worries about the lost digit.

We don't have the MC-X55 in the Master Model List. It and units like it create a dilemma. It's an interesting mini system and as such should be tracked. Like many of what I call 5 stack models, it was sold as a package and the individual components were never intended to be sold separately. If the whole package had a single serial number, no problem. Some were sold that way but most were produced with separate serial numbers for each component and frequently turn up on auction sites as individual components.

This photo shows 4 speakers. The two in the foreground are the MX-X55 speakers under discussion. Who knows what the other two are. It's likely they are from another mini system of this era. The manual in the photo seems to indicate it was sold as a set but how do you track it? I'm open to suggestions.

Currently, I try not to add the separate components from these "stack" systems to the database. For the most part, they are low quality and don't have a following of collectors. From the standpoint of "harvesting" serial number I don't want to clutter the database just because they show up on an auction site. I will however, put them in the database if an individual AK member has it in his/her collection.

And last but not least, @Reidy12, all of your efforts are appreciated. You provide the most detail in your SN posts. That has to complicate your process for collecting the serial number which likely makes it easier to make a mistake. Finding and correcting mistakes in the posted serial numbers is a routine part of the upload process. At the same time, anything you can do to minimize the mistakes makes my job easier.

Thanks to every that contributes to this project!

- Pete
 
Here is another case. I am currently looking at an MC-X5 listed on sprzedajemy.pl/mini-wieza-sansui-mc-x5-gdynia-4-0010c9-nr69208507 It has not been listed in the general database. It has a CD-X7, T-X7L, D-X7, and I cannot read the amp part. None of these items have a place in our database. The amp part has a volume control, balance and bass boost only. I can read three of the serial numbers, but not the amp. Does it have speakers? Not indicated. This is a toy in my opinion. We are really into the weeds here. Trying to include this would clutter up the database. Nor do we know the number of different models that were issued in this period. I cannot imagine this being a priority or even a curiosity for most people.

Cheers Pete, I actually enjoy the collection process in most cases when I have the time, a bit of OCD helps and I will strive to make your job easier.....love your work :cool:
