AU-101 and AU-D907G Extra are decade duplicates.
 
kv23 was a very calm week
- with a serial duplicate
- with a hardly readable number
- with a correction of an older mistake from my side - I swapped B and C for a 2102 by mistake

errors in the file, I just recognised now myself :(
635049843 is a B-2101 (not a C-2101). Please correct in the serial file
635045303 is a C-2101 (not a B-2101). Please correct in the serial file



Second last digit looks like a "6", but could be a damaged "0" as well. I have noted a "6" above
AU-111.jpg

G-9700 is duplicate to a G-8700DB in the file
G9700_duplicate.jpg
 
I have the serial numbers. @peterott, I made the corrections and confirmed the duplicate. Line 81was building 6 different G models in February '80 including the G-8700DB. I'll enter it as a production duplicate. Thanks!

@LBPete: Sorry, I have work for you :)
Could you please cure the AU-X111 entry in the PDF file? We have Production Date from 1979-1982 and 1989-1992. The wrong entries from 1979-1982 should be fixed to 1989-1992.

Yeah, that was a mess. Somehow two different decade references were used. I've cleaned it up and it should have the right production dates in the June report. It's another example of Sansui's inconsistent model names. The AU-X111 was released a number of years after the AU-X111 Mos Vintage.
Thanks for separating this correction from the monthly serial number list. It's easier to do corrections separately.

In looking at the AU-X111s on file, this one has an incorrect serial number:

ModelSerialProduction DateDecadeEntry DateReporterNotesT-tag
AU-X111223798004159Invalid Date Code19874/30/26kleinanzeigen

It was entered last month along with a group of CD-X111s that have this type of long serial number.

That number I added in kv16. Checked kleinanzeigen, but that specific AU-X111 is gone... found only half a dozen old AU-X111s on kleinanzeigen with the classic 9-digit numbers.
 
Thanks for looking. The AU-x111 was in production for several years, '89 to '92. It's possible this is a valid serial number from a late production unit but it's the only one out of 73 SNs on file. I'm going to keep it in with the long serial number to see if more long serial numbers turn up.

I keep an eye on it. These AU-X111 appear quite frequently on kleinanzeigen in the past months. Seems they got sold pretty well in Germany back then.

As usual a duplicate fest. And a stolen image from a German site, watermark and all.

Kleinanzeigen also had a stolen image from marktplaats as well (a SE-77, "only shipment, no pick-up"). Was quiet the past weeks with Sansui, but seems these things are starting again.

Thanks guys, I've added them to the June list.

AU-9500,216030083,McHay
AU-11000,21507110,McHay

Hi @McHay, welcome to AudioKarma Exclusively Sansui! Your AU-9500 was manufactured on production line 21 in March of 1976. It was the 83rd unit off that line that month. We have 214 AU-9500s in the database but only one other that was built in 1976. It was also built in March '76. hat makes yours one of the last AU-9500s produced.
Line 21 was also building RA-500s, AU-9900s, AU-11000s, AU-20000s and at least one 7070 that month.

The AU-11000 serial number is a digit short. It should have 9 digits. Can you take another look? Thanks!

- Pete
 
Interesting what can be read out of the serial numbers.. and the fact that I have one of the newer ones amongst members of AK!
 
Sorry, should have spotted that!
AU-11000,215070110,McHay is correct!
Your AU-11000 was built on production line 21 in July of 1975. It was the 110th unit off that line that month. 8 and 9 digit serial numbers contain this information. Once it's entered into the database, cumulative information can be extracted. The database can be asked with a simple program called a query to provide a variety of different information. In this case I ask it to list all serial numbers from line 21 production in July 1975. Since the Model is tied to the serial number, here's what the models produced that month: AU-9900, AU-9500, and AU-11000s

AU-D9, 221040296, Starbytes
Hi Starbytes, welcome to AudioKarma Exclusively Sansui. Your AU-D9 was produced on production line 22 in April 1981. It was the 298th unit off that line that month. Line 22 was also building AU-X11s AU-D907s, AU-D7s and AU-D11s.

AU-20000,215110176,KeithD
Ahh, your famous AU-20000. Thanks for posting.
