Guy:
I have always thought that it was fairly easy to tell how old a Kenwood
radio was by it's serial number and for the most part, I think I am right.
Let's say you have a TS-850 or TS-870 and the serial number is in the 8
million range, that is 800134. This would indicate that hte radio was made
in 1997. The first number minus 1 seems to equal the last digit of the year
in which the radio was made. In the case of other radios you must be fairly
aware of the years during which the radio was made. In other words an 8
million serial number on a TS-940 means that it was made in 1987 becuase
they weren't made after 91 or so.
Now the dillemma. The TS-940 has a serial range of 10 million (1989) during
which some very significant changes were made to the design of the radio,
such as soldering in the eprom to eliminate erratic problems. You naturally
want to get that latest serials that exist for a certain radio to get the
most recent updates to its design. I recently acquired one with a serial
number of 20 million. ???
Does anybody have a clue as to when this radio might have been made? Am I
to assume 1991?
