Ten-Tec Serial Number Decoding

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.
Examples
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.
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.
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
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
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
