Re: HP-35 Bug: highest serial number? Message #3 Posted by Mark Henderson on 23 Feb 2010, 7:34 p.m., in response to message #2 by Michael de Estrada
Wow, that seems like a lot of units - we know the "week code" (1249 etc.") really wasn't the production week, but I guess the rest of the number couldn't be sequential, either? MoHPC and some other sources describe 20,000 - 25,000 original "buggy" units, but a quick look shows buggy units with S/Ns 1143Axxxxx, 1230A8xxxx, 1230A9xxxx, and your high numbered 1249A. Were the last 5 digits then really only recording a few thousand units? Interesting!?!
