Thank you guys! Yes, most speakers are 8 digit serial numbers.

For what it's worth, with the extraordinary help of @Peter lye, we now have over 20,000 serial numbers in the Database. The monthly report now tops over 500 pages. Hopefully it's not so long that people can't find what they need.

A couple of accessories to add:

SRC-1,241080380,Sansuiman Note: wired remote for SD-7000 R2R

SHE-1,77372,Sansuiman Note: Tape head demag'r, 5 digit SN

QBL-100,234030398,Sansuiman Note: Wired quad remote

The above are some rarities/oddities, especially the 5 digit SN on the SHE-1. Not sure how to even decode that, clearly it doesn't follow anything close to the normal format in terms of the significance of leading digits for ID'ing date and line number. Maybe a 2 digit line number and a 3 digit production number assigned sequentially? Worth noting the number itself is stamped justified to the right on the label, leading me to infer the normal leading digits are dropped, but that is just supposition on my part.
 
Wow, those are rare. We have only a couple examples of these accessories in the database. So these are very helpful.

FYI, f you want to tag a note onto the serial number, just add a comma after the "reporter" name and anything following that comma with write into the Notes field of the database.

Thanks for posting.

Ok, wasn't sure about the reporting format for notes/comments. Thanks again for maintaining this project, Pete
 
There is also a separate field for T-tag. It's in the fifth position. Model,Serial Number,Reporter,Notes,T-tag. The commas designate the field order. If you want to add the T-tag information without a note, place two commas after the reporter. Model, Serial Number,Reporter,,T-tag.

Wants €400 or more for it. It is a great tuner but with the impending demise of FM broadcast as we know it a bit overpriced.

Very fortunate to have FM broadcast alive and well in New Zealand for the foreseeable future!!

FM radio is alive and well in LA too! KCRW "Morning Becomes Eclectic" is playing in the background right now.

Hi @Paul054, welcome to AudioKarma Exclusively Sansui. Thanks for making your first post a serial number. Your AU-6500 was the 28th unit off assembly line 01 in November of 1973.

For anyone interested we now have 1,502 unique Sansui models and 23,236 serial numbers on file. This huge growth in the database was fueled by the fantastic support of several AK member. @Peter lye alone has contributed thousands of new serial numbers that have expanded the database with new models and serial numbers from Sansui models distributed through out the world. He has also been actively alternating me to errors in the database thereby keeping me on my toes. We all owe him thanks.

That said, every serial number is important and single donations are very much appreciated too.
