[1000mp] serial number

[Garry Shapiro]

October, 1995

I Googled "FT1000MP+serial+number" and found

:Serial no.  Example                   5        E         053        123
:
:The 5 refers to lat digit of the hardware year of manufacturing .....    in
:this case 5  =  1995
:
:The E refers to the month of manufacturing ( counting January as  C,
:February as D ..etc. )  So ......E  =  March
:
:The 053 is the batch no. on the shop floor .....so  053 =  Batch 53
:
:The 123 is the actual serial number ......so 123 = Serial no. 123 within
:batch 53
:
:In my case this was borne out by comparing with the "Soft" date in the
:hidden parameters, except that the "Soft" number Month was 2 months later
:than the plate on the back.  I guess they must " burn in " the set for a
:couple of months !!
