Anyone remember how the serial number (first two digits)/Age of product relationship works?

I had it from a post on the old forum but of course it is no longer available.

I was about to ask something similar.

Can we have a page of popular older equipments serial numbers and the age relating to them?

Anyone?

Here you go!

The first two numbers relate to the approximate year of manufacture. If a product was made just before everyone went home on Dec 31st 2003, it will be one digit out from a 2004..

Okay..

09 - 1994

10 - 1995

11 - 1996

12 - 1997

13 - 1998/99

14 - 2000

15 - 2001

16 - 2002

17 - 2003/04

18 - 2004/05

19 - 2006/07->

Hope this helps

Hi there,

@ Lee - This is exactly the sort of info I used to store in the "my space" or "my controls" area in the old Beoworld, that I lost in the upgrading. Do you think there is a way we will be able to retreave this ? Cheers and congratulation again for the new site !

Christophe

Many thanks Lee

the serial number of my besound3 begins with 94.

Some products differ, but it will be in there!

Some V8000's and DVD1's have the Serial (for example) 9148345432 - but you just need to ignore the 9 at the beginning..

Is there any chance we could have an article written up covering this topic and posted on the main site?

Yes, of course.

I am currently sorting out 'teething issues' which are now pretty much done, and after that i will be spending 1-2 days a week full time updating articles, news, FAQ's etc - as will Steve. This ought to create a pretty comprehensive database over the months/years!

Thanks, but I have  one question. How far back does this go? It would mean that 1986 will have 01, but what about earlier than this?

HI
