Jaguar Serialnumbers

[Matthias]

Hello,

 

do we have knowledge about the way a Jaguar Serialnumber is composed?

 

Is it possible to detect the type of the console (NTSC/PAL/SECAM) or other things like the ADC being assembled by looking at the serialnumber?

 

Best regards

Matthias

Hi!

 

In France a lot of Serial Jaguar numbers starts with K14xxxxxxxx

it's PAL jaguars with no RF output

 

 

You are right, there are some hardware-attributes which allow to "detect" a french (no RF), a NTSC (channel select switch) and PAL model (RF, but no channel select-switch). But how can i detect whether or not i have a british or a german PAL-version without looking at the power-supplies or connecting the console to the TV-set?

 

BTW: All my K-models (PAL and NTSC) start with K14, all my M-models (PAL and NTSC) start with M25.

 

Regards

Matthias
