Carvin Serial Number Decoder

LeftyJay wrote:The following quote was taking from this webpage: 'Carvin does not keep an accurate database of serial numbers, and cannot provide any information based solely on a serial number. Because many of the guitars they produce are custom orders, the serial numbers flow as the orders are received, therefore, sequential serial numbers could represent any model guitar or bass.'

From a data processing point of view, this is questionable. The order records are computerized. All they have to do is tag the order record with the serial number when it's assigned. The data for every order ever filled would fit on a thumb drive. They could easily have at their fingertips access to a description of every guitar in their database, by serial number or any other field. They may, in fact, actually have that ability now but have reasons for not wanting to provide that facility. Rahker wrote:From a data processing point of view, this is questionable.

CARVIN ENGINEERING DATA RX1200L, RX1200R MIXERS OPERATING MANUAL by a variable speed fan. Sealed controls and switches guard against the outside ele-ments while heavy-duty connectors provide a positive connection to your cables. Hidden deep in the heart of these mixers is the “SMT” Surface Mount Technology. Extrapolation of serial numbers is practically impossible, and the numbers themselves have no logical order. For example, a TL60 made in 2002 has a serial number of 63663, while a Bolt made in 2000 has a serial number of 82398, and an LB70 made in 1998 has a serial number of 63094.

The order records are computerized. No, they're not.

Mixer Firewire rack. It is very powerful and versatile. Phonic helix board 18 mac driver.

Recent orders are in the computer, but that system hasn't been in place that long (we have been building guitars for 60 years, after all). There are dozens of and-written ledgers with every order every placed. So, finding out something about a particular s/n means weeding through all these books, a page at a time - literally, tens of thousands of pages. We've talked about how nice it would be to build a database with all this information - being the webmaster of the Museum as well as here, I would love it. But the cost of having a contractor manually type in thousands and thousands of guitars with all the options would be extremely expensive. There's no reason at all we wouldn't want to share ths data with people - it's just a matter of cost and time.

Even though many skins are available in.rmskin format for direct installation, some skins that come in zip format need to be copied to the Rainmeter skins folder manually.

For beginners, browsing and installing a new skin for Rainmeter might seem like a difficult task.

But since they are now, there's little excuse for not being able to search on serial numbers. As for sharing info, some companies skirt any privacy issues by denying all information.

My girlfriend works two jobs now, so I've got some free time.

I'll work cheap. I've got Excel and Access.

If the paper ledgers were scanned, we could make it a community project of the members of this forum to extract the data.
