There is a typo in the PDF for which I was responsible for:
B-1000,508090032,kleinanzeigen in the PDF is wrong - please delete!!
C-1000,508090032,kleinanzeigen - please add this correct one

(just saw the full x-1000 stack on kleinanzeigen again with B-1000/C-1000/CD-V1000/T-1000 and I messed up a bit)
 
WK28 brings an interesting artefact: a PC-X1. This is a PCM processor with video output like Sony's PCM-F1. I did not know that Sansui also had one (or two). The fun thing is that the AC adapter that is comes with has the same serial. So when I came across one on Marktplaats with no serial I suspected that this is an NTSC version as the PSU has a serial that is close to one from Yahoo Japan. Which is NTSC. It could also mean that no PAL versions exist but one on Worthpoint (already in the database) clearly shows an NTSC sticker:
PC-X1_worthpoint.jpg

Without further ado, this week's harvest with many fresh serialz:

I'm back from a long road trip vacation to Canada and still buzzing from days of driving. I have all the serial numbers posted this month. Thanks!

@peterott, with the photo I'll put the AU-888 in and I made the correction to B/C 508090032. It's very easy to make these corrections. Thank you for keeping it separate from the upload serial numbers.

@ignoramustot thanks, I have your AU-7900!

@PE9ZZ we have a number of those PC-X1s in the database. They gave me a lot of heartburn when they showed up with the same serial number on the power supply but a different model name. I'm amazed on how much money people are asking for them now. There is one on Reverb with an asking price of $670.

Here's a link to a 1984 magazine article singing the praises of the PC-X1. It lists the retail price as $1000 in 1984. That's almost $3200 in 2025 dollars.

Huh. There is one on Feebay (NL) not far away from me (Alkmaar). Asking price US$558. It brings a new serial:
PC-X1,214020107,ebay.nl
and a confirmation that a PAL version exists:
PC-X1_ebay.nl.png

The AC-X1 PSU has the same serial:

@PE9ZZ, I put the PC-X1 in with a note that it's a PAL/SECAM version and the AC-X1 as having EU voltages
@Peet1, Your QRX-999 was built on production line 23 in December 1976. It was the 23 unit off that line that month. Line 23 was also producing QRX-8001s and AU-10000s that month.

Thanks guys!

- Pete

Someone was selling a SR-929 for 350€. Though, the small wire for anti-skating was missing, no mat, light for the speed not working and optically not a beauty anymore. Oh, top-cover missing too. But ad was gone within minutes.

They already were rearer but now they are becoming more and more rarer!

Ps.: I changed the tonearm cables on mine a month ago because of a hum problem and I still must recheck on that as it persosts and also check slow speed issues but
that is another story...sorry to hijack this Pete' s thread!!!

Oh well, I was buying mine in ex-condition (total beauty, just the mat was replaced with a new one, everything else still there and working... top cover, tonearm lock, piano laquer without any damage, even the 4 feet still in top condition) for slightly more :smoke:
