Re: [Fairlight-CMI] Serial Number scheme?

2012-03-19 by Harald Feldmann

Hi Kirk,

Peter Wielk and Peter Vogel probably know exactly how it works, but you
can see 0783 as july 1983. 1080 october 1980. Presumably the next two or 3
digits are the actual unit number. 50, 51, 198.
my 2c.

Regards,
Harald
