      Hi,

highest and lowest serials known. Brackets indicate model number 

included in serial.

SDS-7			(7)0001-2536

SDS-8			(8)0362-4133

SDS-9			208-3928 (7090?) (misread 1 for a 7?)

SDS-200			2809

ClapTrap (mk2)		713

ClapTrap (mk3)



So, a few of my guesses was way off it seems. But some quite good. 

SDS-III and SDS-IV were not as rare as expected but I guess we can 

assume many are lost today.



Cool to see the second SDS-V and the first SDS-7 ever on the list!



Very few SDS-6 out there. WT, we need your digits too...



EPB's have a suspiciously narrow span. Anything lower available?



ClapTrap mk2 has a typewriter typed label below. Same as early wooden 

pads and it's hard to read but I'm quite positive it's 713.



Keep'em coming and I'll update the list...
