Does anyone know how to decode the date codes GE used on their radios, alarm clock radios, telephones, etc?
Most GE electronics have a label that has the model number, serial number, boxes labeled 1-5 with check marks in pen, and a date code. Although the phones don't have the check boxes that I've seen. The date code has 4 numbers followed by two letters. The second number always seems to be the last digit of the year. In some cases where there was actually a month and year on a separate sticker, the last digit of the year always seems to match the second digit of the date code. I'm wondering if possibly the last two digits could be the week. Of the 3 GE telephones I have, one says "1835RB" another says "3648RB" and the other says "5752HP". I also have a GE radio/CD player that says "5643RA". Since none have more than 52 as the last digits, I'm thinking that's probably the month, as in the "5752HP" would be December. Years ago I had an 1980s GE red LED alarm clock radio also with a sticker, and I think it followed the same format. However a GE analog alarm clock I have from the 1960s or 70s has no such code. Either this didn't apply to their clocks, or that unit was made before the date code was used. |
