I bought a second hand “Electric-Blue” Voyager V:3 recently, and was wondering if the date of manufacture could be determined from the serial number?
The S/N is: EB0194
Cheers,
Pete.
Ohh that’s an old one. Maybe from the 60’s
Thank you sir-dss, that is really useful, NOT.
O.K. I just want to say here that I meant no malice with my above comment, it was meant in the spirit of the post that it was in answer to!
Sorry for any misunderstanding that I may have caused.
Pete.
what are you…12 years old?
lol
Welcome to the Moog forums, Pete.
The EB Voyager has been in production only about 2-3 years now. A low serial number would indicate that it was manufactured early in the production - maybe late 2004 or early 2005.
Short of contacting Moog (which you could do), I don’t know of a way to determine the date of manufacture from the serial number.
BTW - The current OS is 3.3. You can get it here:

Hope this helps.

No, just putting a serious question to the obviously very knowledgable people on this Forum, sorry if I offended you in any way.
regards,
Pete.
Thank you very much Greg, thats the kind of answer I was looking for.
And thanks for the welcome, I think that I have unwittingly upset “electrical_engineer_gEEk” and “sir-dss”, that was not not my intention at all! 
Regards,
Pete.
i was just remarking on your use of “Not” and it’s original use primarily by 12 year olds in the mid 90’s…
but i think it might be making a comeback via the new Borat movie…
“This suit is NOT black”
No offence meant, and no offence taken I hope, good Sir.
This is one fantastic Forum, and I feel honoured to be here, having lusted after a Minimoog since I was a mere teenager. (I am 53 years young now).
I know that if I can ask you guys my stupid questions, perhaps you will take pity on an old’un and help me out!
All the best,
Pete.
I thought your question was a good one especially since I too wondered if there was some way to find the approximate manufacture date based on the serial number, and I’m not sure why you’re the one apologizing.

Fortunately, I did receive some very good help and advice from “GregAE” via P.M.
Cheers,
Pete.
