Nice collection. These serial numbers will be in the February Report.

Pete, just noticed my first entry on Post #1079 is missing a digit. Should be:
200,020070555,Buch1anan
Thanks

 

[LBPete]

Rossm, I've logged your serial number. Buch1anan, I've made the change. Thanks for catching that.

One question: I was looking at the serial numbers and this s/n called my attention: 218113240
So, for November of 1978, 3240 units were being made for that model, right? And that might not have been the last unit for that month. That's quite a few, isn't?

 

[LBPete]

The last 4 digits indicate the sequential number of units off that assembly line. It wasn't unusual for Sansui to make several different models on the same line in the same month. For example, we have 8 serial numbers on file produced on production line 21 in November 1978. 3 were AU-317s including the serial number you provided. The other five were TU-517s. Eight serial numbers is just a small sample of the at least 3240 units produced that month so it's possible there were other models in the mix.

Thanks guys, I got them. @w1jim that ID plate has a T-tag designation indicating it was built by a contractor. Are there any letters after the T in the circle?

It doesn’t appear so.

On my AU-G90X, there is no serial number but there is this label on the bottom cover (see the image).
Can anyone tell what this label says?

 

[LBPete]

Interesting tag but it's not a serial number. Serial numbers are usually on a paper label attached to the back panel.

You are right, it is not a serial number.
This is what Google Translate says. So, it looks like it was a demo unit used by Sansui, unless someone speaking Japanese corrects me.
