&lt;p&gt;Beolab 5 from 1996 ..?? I think they started in 2003......&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This numbering scheme should apply to most (all?) products, not just Beolab 5s.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: BL 5 Serial number and age?</title><link>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/204110.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 15 May 2009 08:20:12 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:204110</guid><dc:creator>stefan</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/204110.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&amp;PostID=204110</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/Themes/beotheme1/images/icon-quote.gif"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Piet van der Zalm:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;this is what I found (it&amp;#39;s all in the forum)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;11 - 1996 &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;12 - 1997 &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;13 - 1998/1999 &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;14 - 2000 &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;15 - 2001 &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;16 - 2002 &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;17 - 2003/2004 &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;18 - 2005 &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;19 - 2006 &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;20 - 2007&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The first 2 digits stands for the year of production.&lt;/p&gt;

I&amp;#39;m looking at a pair at the moment.... he says they are 2 years old... but I wanted to check myself using the serial number. Does anyone know where that thread was about the age and what serial number it should have??&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks a lot&lt;/p&gt;
