Rastamafugg Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Maybe I'm having a bad googling day, but I can't find a list of serial numbers for the Coleco Adam (Or Colecovision, for that matter, although I found an old forum link to a defunct Colecovision serial database). Is there one out there somewhere that I'm just not finding, or even an explanation of the number sequence? Mine is A8102735. I expect A represents the factory and 81 might be the year of manufacture, meaning mine is the 2735 unit made in late 81, possibly? That seems early, chronologically, though.

Rastamafugg Posted January 1, 2023 Author Share Posted January 1, 2023 @rietveld Thanks! Looks like my guess at the serial number meaning was wrong about the year. I'll have to take a look at the dates on the chips when I open it up for some maintenance to figure out when mine was made. That's an impressive Coco collection! You've got a lot of interesting peripherals hiding in the corners of those pics, too. And a good collection of Ataris and other systems off to the side! That first picture is pretty much my first two computers growing up. Radio Shack was right next to the arcade in the mall, so I spent a lot of time there when my mom or dad went shopping.

+dhe Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Did the serial number database get lost to time? Does anyone know how to decode these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 No such database was ever available from Coleco or created by someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
