Sega CD Manufacture Date Registry

[Guntz]

I thought it might be fun to find out who here has the oldest and newest Sega CDs. Any official model is applicable, including the CDX.

Information Needed

1) System Model and Region
2) Manufacture Date
3) Serial Number

Instructions

The Sega CD 1's production date is located on the black label below the little one in the center with the serial number on it. Here's a photo (thanks evilevoix):



For the Sega CD 2, all you have to do is look underneath the console and check the silver label below the center black one with the serial number. Here's some pictures:




Unlike the previous systems, the Sega CDX has all it's technical info on a single sticker. Below the serial number at the top is a white square, which has the production date inside it. Here's a picture (thanks arnold_the_bartender):



The JVC X'Eye has it's information on a single small sticker in the very center of the console's underside. Here's a picture (thanks cheaterdragon1):



NOTE: If you think the images are better left as hyperlinks, let me know.

The List

NOTE: This is how the lists are sorted:

(1) Manufacture Date - Oldest to Newest (descending)
(2) Serial Number - Lowest to Highest number, letters are ignored (descending)

Basically the manufacture date holds priority over the serials, but both are sorted highest to lowest in descending fashion. The only exception is the Sega CD Model 1, which seems to have the exact same mfg date no matter what serial the unit has.
