[KB-036] How to read the manufacture date code on X-Arcade hardware?

Product: X-Arcade Hardware | Platform: General | Confidence: High

Answer:

The manufacture date code on X-Arcade hardware follows a specific format: the first two digits represent the year, the next two represent the month, the following two represent the day, and the final digits represent the unit sequence number (YYMMDD###).

For example, if you see a code like "230815001", it indicates the unit was manufactured on August 15, 2023, and it was the first unit produced on that day.
