Go up one level in this thread


 As I understand it, the serial numbers on the CC1's don't indicate
>production dates in any manner - is that correct?

yes correct
the serial numbers were randomly issued and have a very wide range from 4 digits
to as many as 6




 So how does one know that a
>CC1 is an early production model or not?  An early sales date, if known, would
>be an indicator, but a late sales date would not preclude the machine being an
>early model.

>Are there any ways to determine this?


not that i know of
again i will check my CC1 manual in May
i bought a fairly early one but i cant say the exact date
it was over 27 years ago
:))

i have a fairly strong suspicion however that there was only one production run
i  know that  exactly 1000 Units were made my Fidelity but its possible that by
the time the last units left the factory, Fidelity already knew that there was a
mistake with the notation(because the USCF and others would have contacted them
as soon as the first shipments hit the stores) so they added the upgrade info
into the manual.

i am only surmising of course

even if my manual has the upgrade info it dosent mean there are manuals without
it

 bvye last units to go out the door have a manual sent with it
