When you get into Video games specifically, there are obviously many more made. this effort is pretty conclusive on a better approximation for that.
before tracking this, the guesses were that there were 100-150 Red Cabinets. you can see that as we added metadata to each serial number, we can now tell pretty solidly that there were 300 Red Cabinets made (sample run). If you switch over to the 'Game Traits' tab.
#Top serial number sites serial numbers
As I mentioned above, prior to 1984, Williams video games and serial numbers shared a single sequence and no 'hard-cutovers' on sequences specific to a particular game. because you see the game number first 6XX or whatever and then the sequential number like 6XX-00020 (sometimes minus a high number start like 6XX-100020). for games after 1984, the serial numbers are prefixed with a game number which makes things substantially easier. the bigger deal is tracking the actual serial numbers when they are not in a cabinet (like for all the game PCBs on Ebay which have serial number stickers attached to them and YES I understand there are flaws using those assumptions but the more data we collect, the better picture we get) and using that data to determine the ranges (production numbers) of both dedicated and kits. I appreciate your need to only care about cabinets, but there is so much more.
you can just see the Williams video games. I had a special hidden page that showed this overlapping, but the google control I was using doesn't seem to work anymore so I will need to try and get it working again. so 321890 might be a black knight pinball and then 321891 might be a Defender video game. The trick is that all the game interleaved. they had sequential stickers and put them all over the game and then set up the serial stamper to match and put impressions in the wood in the normal places (Pins: top of cabinet, inside body collar, below front door Vids: under the control panel). At the end of the line is where the serial numbers were.
If anyone was familiar with the old Williams plant on California Ave in Chicago, they had two production lines and those two lines could obviously each run a different game. I added all the Williams video games to the site because they ran in the same serial number sequence as all the other (pins, redemption, etc) up through 1984.
