Similar to @PE9ZZ, a pretty interesting kw6. Stuff offered even for extremely low money, so that the offer was deleted (=sold) within a few hours.

@DadsSansui and @two9er, Welcome to AudioKarma exclusively Sansui! Thanks for making your first post well formatted serial numbers.

Going down through the list here's what I can tell you about them;
The 5000X was built on production line 81 in May of 1971. It was the 4,281st unit off that line that month. Line 81 was dedicated to producing the 5000X that month.
The first 2000 was built on line 01 in May of 1969. It was the 2,482nd unit off that line that month. Line 01 was also only building 2000s that month.
The other 2000 was built on line 01 in June of 1969. It was the 2,056th unit off that line that month. Line 01 was still only producing 2000s that June.
The AU-555A was built on line 58 in January of 1972. It was the 308th unit off that line that month. Line 58 was building mostly AU-555As with a few TU-666 sprinkled in.
The TU-666 was built on line 01 in April of 1971. It was the 264th unit off that line that month. Line 01 was also building the 2000X that month.
The 1000X was built on line 01 in November of 1971. It was the 218th unit off that line that month. Line 01 was very busy that month building AU-888s, 4000s, 2000Xs, and 1000Xs.
The RA-100 was built on line 21 in September of 1970. It was the 936th unit off that line that month. Line 21 was also building 5000As that month.

two9er, your 771 was built on line 02 in September 1973. It was the 1,074th unit off that line that month. Line 02 was only building 771 that month.

Thanks for posting. These serial numbers will be in the February report available in early March.

@PE9ZZ and @peterott I have yours too. I appreciate your dedication.

I've got a 230 volt 907DR. AU-907DR,612068760,Cafad.

And I see there are a couple of other 907DRs very close to the serial number of mine. Any idea if they are also 230 volt units? I'm curious as to how many were made.

Welcome to the Sansui Serial Number Database thread. The database now resides on Sansui Page in Digital Docs. You Can Access it here:

Sansui Serial Number Database
Please post new serial numbers in this thread. They will be uploaded to the database at least monthly, more often if needed.

When posting serial numbers please use this format:

Model,Serial Number,AK User Name
9090DB,827011234,LBPete
G-9000DB,818021234,AK User Name
AU-555A,581080009,AK User Name

No spaces but please place a comma between data points. The commas are important. List multiple serial numbers as indicated. Please do not add anything else. I have to delete it when I create the upload file.

This format is changed slightly from Paul's format but it's easier for me

I believe I've reported the TU-710 duplicate before. Considering the ranges for both models this could be a true duplicate. The pic of the 710 will confirm:


Then there is the model TU-X117 which is not in the database, prolly because it is a rarity:

I assume you have an AU-alpha 907DR, I have no record of a AU-907DR. The only way to know the voltage is if the voltage was noted when the serial number was posted. We have 51 AU-alpha 907DR on file and none have the voltage noted. Can you post a photo of the ID plate on the back panel?

Thank you, Sir!

9090DB,817042566,cykotic

Perfect, thank you! Your 9090DB was built on production line 81 in April of 1977. It was the 2,566th unit off that line that month. Line 81 was only building 9090DBs that month.

View attachment 3427736

The TU-710 with this serial number has been in the database since 2005. It's not likely there is a photo from that time. There are 3 other TU-710s built in October '77 with low production numbers, so the serial number is not an outlier, it fits nicely in the range. Line 84 was also building TU-717s and TU-217s that month. I found the original post from 2005. It was "harvested" by @jvm23605 from eBay along with several other serial numbers. I'm going to treat is as an actual duplicate since the production line was building both models simultaneously.

Thanks for pointing it out.

881/825041742/mako

Thanks for posting, Your 881 was built on production line 82 in April 1974. It was the 1,742 unit off that line that month. Line 82 was also building 661s and 771s that month.

You are correct of course, an AU-alpha 907DR. One picture of the ID plate attached as requested.

I've been wondering how many 230 volt units there are. With the MR series it's easy. An MR is 100 volt, an MRX is 230 volt and that's that but with the DR series the difference isn't in the name so we are left to wonder.

Hello @LBPete
made some moons ago a mistake with a number.

S-X500 with the number 607040323 is wrong. Please change it to
S-X500,507040323,kleinanzeigen

It came up as offer again and the picture is pretty clear about the leading "5". Made a typo there it seems when submitting it first time. Sorry for this.

No good way to know the total production based on posted serial numbers. I took a look on-line and the few that had images of the ID plate were all 230V. That's as much as I can say.

G-3500, 819022269, dynoguy

Hi dynoguy, your G-3500 was built on production line 81 in February 1979. It was the 2,269th unit off that line that month. Based on what we have in the database, line 81 was mostly building G-3500s but also built G-8000s that month.

Thanks for posting your serial number. It will be in the February report available in early March.
