i feel like i just loaded 16 tons!
 
Picked up an amp & tuner that are already on the component list, but here's the serial numbers:
AMP SA-550 FA-3611807 S
TUNER TX-950 FB 3620083 S

Btw, on the bottom of both of these pieces is the following written in magic marker:

0333 F88 4141 (or maybe 4/4/) S. Salina
REMCO Syracuse NY
315-469-1000

Mean anything to anybody?
 
My humble collection:
SX-1250 = XE 3622060M
SX-980 = YH2903289S
SX-3800 = AC2902333S

All made in Japan
 
Hi, here are mine:

(those are European versions i believe)

Pioneer SA-9500II: XC2600628S
Pioneer SA-9900: WD9302853M
Pioneer SL-450: WJ8400469S

All are made in Japan

(SL-450 is an Euro version of SX-450, if i remember correctly the only difference is that you can set the tuner to FM, AM & LW (only FM & AM on SX-450))
 
The SA-9100 needs work. A replacement balance potentiometer is a must and the Power Transistors are odd - The right-hand caps have concave domes while the left-hand 2SC1079 and 2SA679's are nicely convex. I have already discovered horror stories about fakes abroad. I would appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction. I am heading off to Toronto (from Hawkesbury) this weekend (26-02-2009 ) so a timely hint as where to go would be great. I intend to replace as many capacitors as is practical and a useful list of "things that should be done to a 30 year old veteran" would be really helpful.
 
SA-9100 FVM TL1405355 Japan
Prelude 4000A/M PL UE13002 Japan
CS-66 MM-SEY-052 & MM-SE9-229 Japan
SA-8800 lost the serial No. plate/OBA 7691 S Japan
 
Yet more serial numbers

It's not much, but here goes...

SX-450 #WK36492724 (Made in Korea)
PL-10 #UJ69416 (Made in Japan)
 
SX-939 - UC9100120M - Made in Japan
220V w/o voltage selector & AC outlets, 470 Watts
EP-marked, but not a US militarysold item, it was bought brand new from Pioneer Norway 2 Owners before me, so the EP-theori is absolutely wrong(at least seen worldwide).
 
SA-408 Serial# AJ2616840K
TX-408 Serial# AJ4007759M
PL-100 Serial# AG19253H (I think. It's a little unclear.)
CT-506 Serial# AL9330438
All made in Japan
 
SX-939 - UC9100120M - Made in Japan
220V w/o voltage selector & AC outlets, 470 Watts
EP-marked, but not a US militarysold item, it was bought brand new from Pioneer Norway 2 Owners before me, so the EP-theori is absolutely wrong(at least seen worldwide).

All military models, and some/most general export models, have <E-P>.

If you have data to support other theories, please share it.

Also, it is not 470 watts. That is the power consumption.
