Dont know if true or not but saving. |
|
The following information should answer most of your questions |
|
regarding serial numbers and how to read them. |
|
EXAMPLE: Serial number: 4G1521238 |
|
"4" - This number specifies the assembly line the unit was built |
|
on. This could also be represented by a letter. |
|
"G" - This letter specifies the year of final assembly. (See |
|
letter codes below). Before a letter was used to specify the |
|
year, a number was used. (See numeric code below). |
|
"152" - The next 3 numbers specify the calendar day of the year |
|
(day 152). |
|
"1238" - This was the 1,238th unit built that day. |
|
"G152" - These 4 digits make up the LOT NUMBER. |
|
LETTER CODE FOR YEARS: |
|
C-1981 D-1982 E-1983 F-1984 G-1985 H-1986 I-1987 J-1988 |
|
K-1989 L-1990 M-1991 N-1992 O-1993 P-1994 Q-1995 R-1996 |
|
S-1997 T-1998 U-1999 V-2000 W-2001 X-2002 Y-2003 Z-2004 |
|
PREVIOUS NUMERIC CODE: |
|
2-1972 3-1973 4-1974 5-1975 6-1976 7-1977 8-1978 |
|
9-1979 0-1980 1-1981 |
|
Prior to the 9-digit serial number now being used, an 8-digit |
|
number was used. The 8-digit number reads the same as the |
|
9-digit number except the assembly line designation was not |
|
used. |
