Futaba magnum junior date
Futaba magnum junior date
I've got a futaba magnum junior, and I'm wondering how old it is. I googled a bit and have come across a few people saying the first two digits of the serial number indicate mfg date.
This doesn't make sense to me, since I think this particual radio was made in the late 80s-90s. It's not the older style one, it looks like this:

Re: Futaba magnum junior date
Need a little more info but it is not 80's and not older than mid 90's? More like in the 2000's
Re: Futaba magnum junior date
Well, the SN is 80107350, I know it wasn't made in 1980.
early 2000s is possible, I was figuring mid 90s was most probable due to when I bought this stuff.
What other information would be necessary?

There has been a few iterations of it. Mine looks exactly like the picture posted.
'94 would be about right, according to my poor memory.

I have one of these (silver wheel) too from '84-85 and I thought it was the newer version of the first posted pic. I could be wrong... those college years killed alot of brain cells.Y'ernat Al wrote:If memory serves, the Magnum Junior came out around 1984 or maybe sl. earlier even.
