What I found interesting: 228090363 is an AU-717 for EU-220V market. 228090365 is noted as AU-707 in the database - which I think equals a AU-717 but with 100V for JDM, or? Either they changed production lane 22 on the fly or ...63 or ..64 were the last ones of the day and the product lane guys set up and equipped the machine for the AU-707 over night. Or something :)

Thanks for posting your serial number. This AU-G33X was built on assembly line 48 during October 1986. It was the 2,618 off that line that month.

This serial number illustrates the danger of "fixing" outlier serial numbers. Just because a serial number doesn't fit the established pattern doesn't mean it's a "bad" serial number.

There are lots of examples in the database of multiple models built on the same production line in the same month. I'm sure they made the change over on the fly. During September 1978 production line 22 was producing a lot of different models. In addition to the AU-717 and AU-707 it was turning out: AU-919s, AU-607s and AU-D907s.

If you think about this production line, they could use moveable carts to hold the parts necessary for a particular model. To change over to a different model, roll the AU-717 cart out and roll the AU-707 cart in. They probably used some sort of "build sheet" that traveled with the unit being built. The build sheet would of course have the model identified and would also have the specifics like input voltage for the variations of that model.

As a side note, in the mid 1980s I had the opportunity to tour a Nissan assembly plant in Yokohama Japan. They were building several variations of the Nissan Maxima AND Volkswagen Santanas on the same assembly line at the same time. Of course it was all done by robots. Each workstation had the variations of the body part for that workstation stacked in several piles next to the robot. The robot was programed to pick the correct part to put on the car in front of it. It was a well choreographed dance of robot assembly.

I'm going to start processing the August report now.

Hi Pete

As you requested, corrections were not to be filed among the batch posts of serial numbers. Here are two corrections:

1) TU-207,848063374 should be a TU-217. Discovered last month. Here is a composite picture of the unit I found on Canuckaudiomart.com

TU217.jpg

2) Decade Error.

The Sansui Dual Cassette Deck model D-75BW shows in the database as being a 1970s. It's contemporary twin the D-75CW is listed as 80s decade. Having seen samples of both decks, I am pretty certain the 75BW is also an 1980s product. It is shown on HiFi Engine as being Metal capable. Metal Cassette tapes were not available in the 1970s only coming in around 1980.
 
@Monicker1, SN 848063374 is in the database as a TU-217 so no change necessary. The D-75BW is indeed a 1980s model so I update the decade reference. That model was entered into the database in 2006.

That BA-3000 has been in the database since 2007. It was posted in AK but there is no other information. I'm going to change the last digit to an 8 to eliminate the conflict.

I deleted the 331, too much guessing. The SC-3300, I agree that the 6th digit is a zero and will put it in that way.

Thanks to everyone that posted these serial numbers.

@Akca, thanks for contributing. We welcome valid serial numbers from any source. If you are inclined to report more, please indicate the internet source rather than just internet. You can just copy and paste the URL. Look at other posts in this thread to see how others do it. Knowing the source helps me verify a serial number that conflicts with an existing SN.

I'm not sure what you mean by "duplicates not yet in the database." Are they among the Serial Numbers you posted? Has the correction to the TU-S55X already been made?

They were in my own database, or rather my spreadsheet. As I post them weekly and your updates are monthly I use it to avoid duplicates. There usually are one or two.

The TU-S55X must have been posted incorrectly some previous week. I could not find out which one. In any case, the non-existent TU-555X is not in the database. Nor is the serial.
 
Thanks @Richard P, Your 5050 was manufactured on production line 85 in July of 1977. It was the 1,359th unit produced on that line that month. Line 85 was also producing AU-5900s, AU-117s and a few 551s that month.

@PE9ZZ, Thanks, that clarifies it. I needed to make sure that I didn't need to take some sort of action.
