Default Drake R8 SN?

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:

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
