I think that they first took orders and then built the units according to the quantity ordered for each model as there was three months between the end of the orders and the shipment of the units:

Quote:Orders forms should be mailed by March 31, 1989. Calculators will be shipped by July 1st, 1989.

They may have built a few more units which ended up at EduCALC, but it would be nice to see an evidence that EduCALC sold the 50th anniversary 14B/32S.
