Came across another duplicate (TU-217/TU-9900):
TU-217.jpg

Could be another true duplicate as they both have many serialz in that range.

On a different note, I'm thinking of creating a Sansui Model Report that will list all 1600+ models on file. It's not that hard to do but I'm afraid it might open a can of worms with disagreement over models and model names. What do you guys think?

I'd be more interested in the raw data. I can then analyze my socks off... Having said that, a Model Report might be helpful into reporting serials. For instance, I always struggle with the "alpha" model numbers and mark such-and-such additions so an authorative list would be nice to have. Right now I just use the Serial Number Report as that is already open when I do the processing of my harvested images. And I consider it authorative.

Got it, thanks!

@PE9ZZ, Line 84 was very busy in October '78. We have 51 units on file built on that line that month. Not only was it busy, it was building multiple models. Here's a sample around the serial number in question. It really illustrates how flexible these production lines were. I'm going to record the TU-217 as a true duplicate.

Also, you are not the only one struggling with the "alpha" models. Sansui wasn't consistent with naming them and there have been many discussions on what to call some models. It will take a bit of effort to create a model name Report but once created it updates automatically and it's just a couple clicks to publish it. I'll try to get it done this month.

As far as authoritative, I'm not sure that anything I put together falls into that category. :rolleyes:

Harvest for the last week with a new model number (RX-3010F). Next update will be mid of October. Cheers...

Nice, I like the car audio stuff. The photos are very helpful. I like to see a physical example of a rare unknown model before entering it into the database. Thanks!

TU-217,848110831,marktplaats.nl
TU-505,834031095,marktplaats.nl
TU-X1,239050287,marktplaats.nl

In my own spreadsheet I just passed the 6k mark (6011 serialz)!

Then I discovered that last week I submitted a serial that is a true duplicate with an AU-20000. Dunno why I missed it. And the TU-X1 had a serial obscured by ferrite but consistent with the serialz already in the database.
AU-2200_216040409.jpg

TU-X1_239050287.jpg
 
Looking at production line 21 in April '76 they were building AU-11000s, AU-20000s, AU-2200s, AU-9900s and a couple CD-10s. There is also a RA-500 but that's probably and outlier. So The AU-2200 could be an actual duplicate and I'll treat it as such.

The TU-X1 serial number looks good and doesn't conflict with anything.

I've created the Sansui Model Report and submitted it for publication in Digital Docs. I'll post a link here when it's available.

- Pete
 
Here's a link to the newly created Sansui Model Report which resides in the Sansui pages of Digital Docs. It lists the 1,690 Sansui Models cataloged in the Serial Number Database. The report lists the Model Name, the type of equipment, the entry date into the Database and a Notes field. I didn't start cataloging the entry date until some time in 2021 so most of the entries don't have a date associated with them. The Note field contains anything I thought was interesting about that model.

This is a bit of a "Peek under the hood" of the Database. This report is a "work in progress." It's likely the AK hive mind will have comments and I welcome them. This Master Model List is an integral part of the Database. Every entry into the database has to exactly match every character and space with a model in this Model Name list. So it's extremely important the Model Name and it's corresponding Equipment Type are entered correctly. The reality is, I don't always get it right so please be kind when reviewing this document.
Enjoy,

- Pete
