This is really strange... Message #9 Posted by Mike on 29 Aug 2001, 2:30 p.m., in response to message #8 by Raymond Hellstern
Both of my all plastic back models have 2439Axxxxx serial numbers and are ver 1BBBB. My metal backs are later serial numbers.
Also, inside, my plastic back models don't have the flex circuit. They have the zebra type connector.
The two case halves are sufficiently different that they can't really be interchanged. So, I'm sure the serial number for the plastic back models have not been switched.
The serial numbers are stamped into the plastic.
I wonder where one could get a history of these. This seems to be clearly a 1st year of production (1984) plastic back, which some say, came later than the metal back versions.
The really interesting thing is that I have two, with sequential serial numbers.
