Adam Jones Posted July 1, 2013 Report Posted July 1, 2013 I'm shocked that my 442 is older than Eric's - especially since it came from him: 030102085000. Now I wish I still had my MixPre from 2000. Congratulations on the anniversary & thanks for the years of great service! Quote

Congratulations on the anniversary & thanks for the years of great service! According to the serial number you have, there were no units made that day. The last 3 digits indicate number of units made that day. 000 means none. Very strange. Eric Quote
Matt Mayer Posted July 2, 2013 Report Posted July 2, 2013 According to the serial number you have, there were no units made that day. The last 3 digits indicate number of units made that day. 000 means none. Very strange. Eric The engineers like to start at 000. Why? No idea. So that is the first unit assembled that day, 001 would be the second. Quote
johnpaul215 Posted July 2, 2013 Report Posted July 2, 2013 There's an old engineering/scientist saying that goes: "there are two types of people, those that start counting with 1 and those that start counting with 0". Quote
Jim Feeley Posted July 2, 2013 Report Posted July 2, 2013 There's an old engineering/scientist saying that goes: "there are two types of people, those that start counting with 1 and those that start counting with 0". I heard a slight mod. My dad, an old engineer, used to say, "There is 1 type of person: those who count starting with 0, and those who start counting with 1." Also, "There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don't." Jim "don't ask me about the 'too many poles in the right half-plane' joke" Feeley PS- Jon, Matt, or anyone-- This is a fun idea. When do we find out the winner? Quote
Johnny Karlsson Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 My 442 is a 2003, day 41, number 5 of that day. It came with the small round fader knobs when I bought it used. Quote
Mark Andrews Posted July 22, 2013 Report Posted July 22, 2013 I highly suspect my 664 is not in the running for this prize. Well done to Sound Devices on 15 successful years, and I hope to be using SD products for a very very long time to come. ~Mark. Quote
Jim Feeley Posted September 7, 2013 Report Posted September 7, 2013 Hey Jon et al, So how did this go? Who had and what was the oldest SD device still in use? Jim Quote
JackHenry Posted September 8, 2013 Report Posted September 8, 2013 My new SD702 has 000 as the last three digits. According to the S/n format, that refers to the "number made that day" Does this mean it was the first made that day (I'd expect 001 to be the first) Quote
Matt Mayer Posted September 8, 2013 Report Posted September 8, 2013 My new SD702 has 000 as the last three digits. According to the S/n format, that refers to the "number made that day" Does this mean it was the first made that day (I'd expect 001 to be the first) Engineers think differently. 000 is the first unit made each day. Quote
JackHenry Posted September 8, 2013 Report Posted September 8, 2013 Thanx Matt I thought as much. But should that number really he called 'number made that day' as, depending on what particular unit S/n you were looking at, you'd think that either 000 had been MADE that day or 999 had been ( or whatever that number was. So it's not really a number that represents HOW MANY we're made that day. It's a number of where a unit was in the TOTAL made that day. Regards John Quote

Rob Shire Posted October 2, 2016 Report Posted October 2, 2016 My round knob 442 / 030502364000 / So second to last day of 2002. I was second owner and she performed well until Friday. Please see my latest post and help me solve this mysterious death. I also have an Shure FP 24 which is probably older. Quote
mark kirchner Posted October 3, 2016 Report Posted October 3, 2016 My 442 S# 030402266000 All silver faders knobs. Looks like mine was the first unit made on June 26, 2002. Just noticed this thread is 3 years old. LOL Quote

Glen Trew Posted October 4, 2016 Report Posted October 4, 2016 If I still have the MP-1 that I reviewed for Audio Media 15 years ago, I might win. I'll check. Quote

RadoStefanov Posted October 4, 2016 Report Posted October 4, 2016 I had a very old "Was owned by NBC " mixpre. I might try to track it down for the 20th years. Quote
