[Kenwood] age of rig

[Dan Violette]

Usual for Kenwood:  Take the serial number and subtract 2 from first number
for last digit of year (you have to figure/guess the decade), then next 2
numbers are the month of the year with a serial number to follow for the
month. 

So I would guess May 2006 and 57th of the month.  I don't think the 480 was
out yet in 1996.

Hi. I'd like to trace the age of my Kenwood 480 through the cereal number
but I don't know how. Can anyone please help me?  The cereal number is
80500057. Thanks and 73, Joe.
