The 'series' as you put it. A series II(x) cardcage is different from a
series III cardcage, so are the music keyboard, monitor and alpha
keyboards. So the number would be the total number produced to that date
for a particular item (II(x) alpha keyboard for example).

It's always nice when you can buy the unit from the original owner, or to
have evidence of prior ownership. Adds to the story of the machine.

This one for example:

Not immaculate white, but really very very original..
