2017 Sansui Serial Number Database

The harvest for Allegro's Archiwum for 2019H1 is now complete (attached). 167 serialz. It was a lot of work, maybe I should take a hiatus for awhile.

I now have 3996 serialz in my own upload database...

Another question: what should I do with Blaupunkt/Artech serials? These are valid Sansui serialz and production but seem to be discarded when I post them. AFAIK it is a single tuner and amp (AU/TU-X317 if I recall correctly).
ARTECH PX / MX 5090 = SANSUI B 2102 / C 2102

Nice work on the Archiwum archive. I've copied them into the August file.

I see you have started to include T-tags. The T-tag designation has it's own field so please separate it with a coma or in some cases two commas. There are a total of 5 fields in the master serial number table, Model,Serial Number,Reporter,Notes,T-tag. As you probably know, each field is separated by a comma. If there is a note like JDM in the 4th position then place a coma before the T-tag. If the note field is blank please use two commas so the T-tag destination skips over the note field. Model,Serial Number,Reporter,,T-tag

The T-tag designates the unit was assembled by a contractor. In many cases that contractor's name is after the T-tag. The most common one is SOC. It's good to have that name along with the T-tag.

Frankly I've been avoiding the whole question of the re-branded models. Although they were made by Sansui they didn't have the Sansui name and were sold through other distribution channels. At the same time they add to the production range of the base model.

The problem is how to tie the base model and the rebranded models together so the production numbers add up. I guess at the very least I can put them in a separate table and then figure out a way to tie them together. It will require something like a union query tie the models together. Let me think about it. In the mean time please list the rebranded models separate from the Sansui models so I can put them in a separate table.

@Akca thanks for posting. Your AU-717 was built on production line 22 in August of 1977. It was the 1,?71st unit off that line that month.

I´d wager 227081571.

Or 227081371. I'll put it in with a note.

Noticed this one not listed in the database unless I missed it. Was submitted back in 2022. Will submit again since it is now fully functional.

Thanks, I'll make sure it gets in this time.

Interesting, it seems to use a very similar logic as the macro our database uses to decode the serial number. I wonder if he saw the discussion on the MS Access forum where we were discussing the coding of the macro.

@PE9ZZ, @milo63 I have your serial numbers too.

This week showed a lot of "beautiful amp, just volume pot is scratchy" multiple times. Nearly half of the amps had this description included with more or less the same wording by the people trying to sell their amps.
 
Finished 2019H2 of Allegro's archiwum. I found a new device, two RG-770s with non-Sansui serials. Prolly a rebadged OEM unit. Also an outlier with a dubious serial (SR-232):
SR-232.jpg
Feel free to discard. I myself tossed many, many more...

In total 133 new serialz that are not in the database here nor in my own (4138).

Got 'um. I'll look into the SNs that indicate a conflict before I start processing the month's batch on Saturday.
