And therein lies the actual information: unless all of the modules match up
with the tag, you have no 'pedigree'. You have one of many thousand Depot
Dawgs created through decades of use & maintenance. Not that it has
anything to do with operation or use/enjoyment. You basically know which
contract the tag is from. And even if all the modules match it doesn't mean
someone didn't collect all the correct ones and build the set which was
popular during the 90s resurgence.
Knowing the overall history of and implementation of these sets is of far
more use. The contract info is a part of that larger story.
Glad to see you made it through the maelstrom, Bill. A lot of folks up your
way are still waiting to get power back.
