Hi Barry,
I cannot say when the coded SNs started, but can supply you with the
numbers I have. I acquired Corsair #1 a few years ago. It's serial
number is: 560 00001. I have the purchase receipt showing its purchase
date somewhere, but I don't want to guess because of the way my memory
has been as of late. My Corsair IIs have the serials 561 02336 and
561 02372.
