Ten-Tec Serial Number Decoding

From an old email from Scott, W4PA:

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.

Examples

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.

2. Model 238 Tuner s/n 41A10349

    41  = April
    A   = separator
    1   = production run # for that particular month
    034 = unit #
    9   = year of manufacture
    Unit #34 of production run #1 from April, 1989.

3. Model 420 Amplifier s/n 5B10053

    5   = May
    B   = separator
    1   = production run # for that particular month
    005 = unit #

3 = year of manufacture

    Unit #5 of production run #1 from May, 1993

4. Model 9420 Power Supply s/n 12A10082

    12  = December
    A   = separator
    1   = production run # for that particular month
    008 = unit #

2 = year of manufacture

    Unit #8 of production run #1 from December, 1992

5. Model 961 Power Supply s/n 41A10019

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

01 = unit # 9 = year of manufacture

    Unit #1 of production run #1 from April, 1989
