Cherry G80-3000 - Can I find out the year of manufacture?

[jiri]

Hi, let me ask you a question. Is it possible to find out the year of manufacture from the serial number of the Cherry G80-3000 keyboard? Thank you very much for your help.

Yes. The last part of the serial number should be a letter indicating the year and two digits indicating the week number.

Thank you for your reply. I see that since 2014 see the table from wiki/Cherry_date_codes they started numbering again from A. If I have code G so the keyboard could be from 1994 or 2020? Do I understand this correctly please?
I'm talking about this keyboard



From the design of the label in the photo, I see it more likely to be a 2020

Thank you

Is there no experienced user here to advise, please? Thank you

You're on the right track! The usage of the code “G” of course presents many challenges, where it can denote 1994 as well as 2020. If a keyboard looks like other newer keyboards, it was most probably released in 2020.

Also, the label has the newer Cherry logo from 2012.
