AT700: is the serial number real?

[caduceusnz]

Hi all, would be grateful for advice on this: 200534IPhttp://www.trademe.co.nz/images/listing/qa_answer.gif apparently purchased in Indonesia, and apparently Japanese origin.

do you have the shaft serial?
any other clues, like photos?

[caduceusnz]

Shaft 4383716. Thanks for the help.

Hi anyone have any thoughts with the updated information?

Same auction as the one posted wrongly in the serial numbers thread ;). At $50 NZD now :D ... ends November 9th.

[caduceusnz]

Yeah that's the one. I thought about posting in the serial numbers thread because everyone seems to do it but thought I'd try not to add to the off-topic-ness of that thread!

[demolidor]

That's why we pointed the other fella this way: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13655 ;) (The Shopping Enquiries thread)
(but since there's a thread open now anyway, the numbers look fine)

Basically: if you have it in your posession this is the section to be, otherwise the marketplace is the section to visit.

Perhaps drifit can move this that way now ...

[caduceusnz]

Thanks demolidor.

So to confirm:
1) The numbers look genuine?
2) All sales enquiries, including non-eBay ones should go to that thread?

Oh I forgot to ask, why is made in Japan got IP in the serial rather than JP? Are both IP and JP serials indicative of being made in Japan?

[jymbalaya]

All Higher end yonex rackets are made in Japan. JP is just a distribution code.

[caduceusnz]

Thanks. So how does IP fit in?

[drifit]

IP is the distribution code for Indonesia
SP = Malaysia & Singapore
TH = Thailand
US = United States of America
TW = Taiwan
JP = Japan
.............etc

[caduceusnz]

Thanks. I was wondering about Indonesia except couldn't work out how the P fitted in ... I thought maybe Ipoh lah...

hey guys, does 6370696 280867CH look to be a correct serial code for AT700(old colour also) to you? when did the old colour of AT700 stop production?
