m00n Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 All... I have some serial numbers I want to lookup. Wanna know when they were made and all that. Can someone repost the info on how to decrypt the Klipsch serial numbers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rplace Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Don't know the full story, but X was 1981 I beleive. So go forward Y=1982 or backward W=1980 as need to get to yours. Some letters like 'O' were not used because it could be read as a zero. I think 'I' was skipped too. EDIT: Wow, looks like I am just full of bad info. Now who was it that told me my X's were 1981s. Win/Dodger I think. Hmmm, he is not around much anymore is he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
