Serial number information

All Model A Rowing Ergometers manufactured after October 1, 1982 have a serial number located on the bottom edge of the chain guide mount board. On Nov. 4, 1985, we started using the date of production as the serial number. Between Oct. 1, 1982 and Nov. 4, 1985, we used a four digit numbering system. The first two numbers indicate the year in which the machine was made, and the rest of the serial number identifies the run number. Thus, a serial number of 83-12 identifies the Model A as the twelfth run of 1983. If your Model A was made before Oct. 1, 1982, it will not have a serial number. Please identify these machines by writing the purchase date whenever the serial number is needed.
