[Elecraft] Build year of K3S

[hb9cvq at hispeed.ch]

My K3S, factory built , fully loaded, has serial number 10490 and is from
Dec. 2015 (put into service here)

It was directly imported to Switzerland ( Swiss VAT/Customs) from Elecraft
shortly before.

 

I hope this  info helps.

Hi Ken,

Elecraft support can probably tell you when they sold that serial number
K3S.

Other than that, folks here on the reflector telling you when they purchased
their serial number and getting an approximate date from their responses.

My K3S serial # 10629 was purchased in May 2013.

Your serial number 10096 was one of the first K3Ss. When Elecraft started
shipping the K3S they started with serial number 10000.

Based on your serial number and mine and when I purchased 10629, my guess is
that 10096 was probably sold in early 2012.

Hope that helps.

 

73,

Mark, WB9CIF

Hi and HNY,

 

My K3S was purchased from a SK sale and is s/n 10096. Is it possible to
determine the year of manufacture?

 

Thanks

Ken M1SLH
