[TenTec] Serial Numbers for Omni

[John L Merrill]

TEN TEC SERIAL NUMBER DECODING

Example: Serial Number 06A10108

06 at the front is month of manufacture, or scheduled production run 
month.  If we were scheduled to build a run of a particular model in 
June, and for some reason we were delayed to July or August for that 
particular run, we'd still put "06" at the front of the serial 
number.  "A" is a separator between the groups of digits.  "1" is the 
production run # for that particular month.  "010" is the unit 
number.  "8" is the year of manufacture.
