====== Ten-Tec Serial Number Decoding ======

<box 90% blue>Note - Additional serial number decoding information can be found on KD4DCY's Jupiter Resource Page at https://web.archive.org/web/20040628001105/http://kd4dcy.net:80/jupiter/serials/serials.shtml.</box>\\

//(N1EU note: Up until April 1989, serial number labels showed the three digit model number followed by a consecutive number.  One known exception to this was the use of 580-XXXX labels on many of the Corsair II's.  The information below relates to the serial numbering after April 1989, beginning with the later Corsair II's.  However, the serial number scheme changed again sometime after 2010.  So the scheme described below is only valid from approximately 1989-2010)//

**TEN TEC SERIAL NUMBER DECODING**

Example: Serial Number 06A10108

06 at the front is month of manufacture, or scheduled production run month.  If we were scheduled to build a run of a particular model in June, and for some reason we were delayed to July or August for that particular run, we'd still put "06" at the front of the serial number.  "A" is a separator between the groups of digits.  "1" is the production run # for that particular month.  "010" is the unit number.  "8" is the year of manufacture.  (A "C" separator began being used in 2000.((Not in original post.)) )


===== Examples =====

<box left blue>**Omni VI Plus s/n 06A10108**

06  = June\\ 
A   = separator\\ 
1   = production run # for that particular month\\ 
010 = unit #\\ 
8   = year of manufacture

**Unit #10 of production run #1 from June, 1998.**</box>\\ 


<box left blue>**Model 238 Tuner s/n 41A10349**

41  = April\\ 
A   = separator\\ 
1   = production run # for that particular month\\
