Anyone know when this R8 was made? SN 11100012

Looks like 1991.

Are you sure that second digit isn't a letter? Also, that doesn't look
like a
proper Drake serial number. I've had a few (from 1991 on) and they
follow
this
format:


I copied and pasted the SN from the guy who has it for sale.


Guess I'd have him check it again, as it doesn't look right. I've had one
of the
first off the assembly line and they follow the format I explained. The
same
format was continued with the R8A and R8B. Only change with those two was
the
model change in the serial number.


Yeah, I asked him to check it again. Thanks!





The first digit in the serial number represents the year, 9 = 1999, 0 =
2000, 1
= 2001, etc. The second digit is a letter and represents the month, A =
January,
B = February, C = March, etc. The next four numbers represent the model
number.
The last four digits are the unique serial number to that particular
unit.

My current R8 is 2C12900037
