Hi Richy, Walt:

I'm interested.  I was collecting serial numbers but wanted the history of 
ownership chronology but found that very difficult to obtain.  Always as 
interested in the people who used them as the radio.  Kindest regards Jim

With a little work we can figure that out.

The serial # is composed of 2 six digit numbers. The last # in the first set 
of 6 numbers is the run number with "0" being run 1. The last three digits 
in the second set of 6 numbers is the serial # within the run. My 2000 
serial # is 452002 716006. Therefore mine was the 6 rig to make final 
acceptance in the third production run. Now all we need to know is how many 
production runs there were and the highest serial # in each run.
