2017 Sansui Serial Number Database
- Thread starter LBPete
- Start date
The G-33000 in Canuckaudiomart.com was recently removed. Both stickers to the units are visible.
Sansui G33000 - Photo5355667
www.canuckaudiomart.com
The Tuner section reads 238060052. The sticker on the Amp appears to read 238060018 but I am not sure of the last digit.
Either a mistake in the database or I am not reading the AMP sticker correctly. Either way, I can't be more helpful.
The FR-5080 model is an FR-5080S. See photo. The ad was listed as an FR-5080 in the title, so I missed the S, but it is on the plate.
551Ls were the european version of the 551 with the long wave in addition to the FM/MW. They are very rare. There is only one other in the database, also with a six digit serial number. It was as if the 551L was built elsewhere and the production line was never assigned by Sansui.

Thanks for the followup. The FR-5080S is already in the data base and as you see, you can't trust the title of the ad. I looked for the ad for the G33, I found it but with no photos. I'm still deciding what to do with the conflict. That serial number is in the database as a tuner. I'll try to contact the AK member that posted it but in the meantime, could the last digit be a 6 or a 3 instead of an 8?
Good information and photo on the 551. I should have checked the database to see if we had others like it.
No worries, it will go into the December batch.
@Work2do, thanks for posting, nice job on the 661 recap thread.
- Pete
The last digit on the Sui G33000A looks to me to be an 8 but it could easily be a 3, a 5, 6 or a 9. I don't think it a 0. It is not a 1, 2 4, or a 7. I might drop it if I were you.
BTW The ad currently in question was posted in CanuckAudioMart from a seller located in Ardrossan Alberta which is the same area as the original posting in our database. I am sure it is the same AMP/Tuner Combo.

A funny conflict: a missing "i" on the type plate:
The serial is an outlier in the database so I have no idea what it actually is.

Hi Pete,

antpaubarcar
Thank You!

Thank You!
I contacted the AK member that posted the serial number in question. He had a G-33 tuner but not the amp. So his post is likely accurate. He no longer has the tuner and said it was sold to someone in eastern Canada. I'm going to put the amp in with a 3 for the last digit.
You are correctly entering the notes and the T-tag. The data in Access is stored in grid tables similar to Excel. The commas in the line of data in text form identify which box in the grid to insert that bit of data.
Your CD-alpha907i is a great example of Sansui's inconsistent model naming conventions during it's declining years. We have them with and without the i in the database, but they appear to be different months production. This one will be the earliest example of either variant.
Thanks, it will be in the December report available in early January.

Hi vivian, welcome to AudioKarma Exclusively Sansui. Thanks for making your first post a serial number. Your 3300 was built on production line 22 during November '73. It was the 826th unit off that line that month.
Line 22 was busy that month producing 6 different models. In addition to the 3300 it was also producing 5500s, BA-100s, BA-150s, Eight Deluxe and QRX-3500s.

Two notes: the TU-719 is incorrectly included in the DB as TU-717. For that model the serial is an outlier. Another outlier is the preceiver (which is not that rare) TC-505. The sticker has a valid serial though:

Thanks guys, got 'um!
I'm not sure which AU-717 you are referring to. The AU-719 listed above is a new serial number. It's not in the database. The TC-505 may be an outlier but it is definitely a valid serial number. It illustrates the danger of "fixing" outliers to conform to known serial number ranges.
Thanks for posting your AU-4900. It looks like it is an Australian model since it is built to only use 240V. It was built on production line 02 in November 1976 and was the 231st unit off that line that month. Line 02 was also building the 551 and 6060s that month.

Weird. The duplicate has disappeared. I am getting old... As for the TC-505, you're absolutely right. It is an outlier but a valid one. They happen.
