 +//(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)//​

-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.+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.)) )
