Hi,

I just got my Beocenter 9300 bought used. It's service tag reads:

type 2516 sw1.4
mcmlxxxVI

The second line is a year 1986.  According to info on the net they were not produced in this year, or am I wrong ??

Any ideas why is that ?

Thanks !

Kamil

That's the year the actual design was released, not the year of manufacture. 🙂

If you give me the first 4 digits of the serial number - i will give you an indictation of it's real age!

Spot on by Graham, although with such high third and fourth numbers it was likely to have been sold by a dealer in early 2000.

God - what an anorak i am!  I'm sure a dealer's curiosity after reading this will get them on the system checking, and they may be able to fill us in!!

Thanks a lot !  My girlfriend was really terrified in the begining thinkink that we bought a 20 year old stereo 🙂  So it's good news it's only ca. 8 yo 🙂 

We got it together with speakers made by "ITT". Anybody knows this manufacturer ? Speakers seem to be well aged 🙂  They're made in Denmark.
