Nice find, the 500AE is a very rare piece. We only have one other one in the database.

- Pete
Then here are the pics for pleasure. Looks even like a 230V device (EU power connector), but a couple of buttons missing and overall condition looks like a lot of work to do for someone experienced.

Here is another 500EA

I attach a pic of the serial number because there are a couple of digits in question.

I don't think that's the same unit. You may have found another one. This image has a black rectangle on the lower right of the chassis. The large image doesn't have that rectangle. Did you find this one on the radio museum website?

@markdd555, thanks for posting. That SM-80 is no newer that 1965. The old serial numbers don't have a date code.

- Pete
 
Also, please keep corrections to the database separate from the new serial numbers. It's a different process and can't be mixed together. The corrections are usually simple and can be done any time. They don't have to wait for the end of month batch processing.

- Pete
 
Yes. The rectangle says "Made in Japan". It is a new to us unit found on RadioMuseum.org. it is the 10th of 11 pictures on the 500EA page. I think it was a later unit of the 500EA production run based on the numerical serial number and maybe some minor changes on the back panel. I have no idea what the date would be. Possibly 1966.

OK. Corrections to come separately.

For 8 digit serial numbers, the second digit is the year. 500EA,76043770 was built on production line 7 in April 1966.

Here are the stats from processing the July postings: 1,468 serial numbers posted. This initial batch was very clean, only 12 duplicates.

After pulling out bad serial numbers,duplicates and conflicts with existing serial numbers, we added 4 new models and 1,376 new serial numbers to the database including two "decade duplicates."

Thanks to all your efforts, we now have 40,287 serial numbers on file! A new milestone for sure.

That said, now we have to discuss the clinkers and there are a lot of them.

These two were posted separately this month but have the same serial number.
AU-555,829050088,Internet
AU-777,829050088,yahoo

The model names of this group don't match anything we have on file and I couldn't find examples of them on line.

These are good model names but the serial numbers match serial numbers on file with other model names. Please verify the model and serial number.

AU-555A,539400327, @Russ87 Forth digit can only be a 0 or 1
P-2000,907167214, kleinanzeigen No month 16, if forth digit is a one, the 5th digit can only be 0, 1, 2

FR-D25,340090248?,archiwum.allegro.pl Which digit is in question?
Please don't add any characters like question marks to serial numbers. It gets kicked into the batch of non standard serial numbers which require manual entry. The manual entries are the last step in the process at a time when my eyes are going cross after looking at serial numbers for hours.

If you can't read a digit clearly, post the serial number as you see it and add a note indicating which digit(s) are in question. The note field follows the reporter. Model,Serial Number,Reporter,Notes,T-tag. Then it can be processed with the good serial numbers and will only drop out if it has a conflict. At that point I can evaluate the digit in question and make a decision on the best way to handle it.

Thanks guys!

- Pete
 
I'm sorry. It should read:

RZ-3500ii,2239000338,audioweb.ro

There are two others in the database with similar invalid date codes.
The text of the add read RZ-3500 2 and pictures showing the receiver were fuzzy as usual. I thought the ii looked more like a "Z".

Those were my 4 numbers, sorry for the issues. All in my kw28 report...either I slept that week or something else had happened...

Sadly gone:
MAS-100 is not available anymore. You can dump this, as I can't prove/check it anymore
TU-X1 is not available anymore. You can dump this, as I can't prove/check it anymore
P-2000 is not available anymore. You can dump this, as I can't prove/check it anymore
