Since it looks like the serial numbers were created serially as they should be, you can get some idea based on collecting some serial numbers and seeing how high each "group" goes. I have a list from long ago that will get you started. The "groups" are based on region, i.e. USA, Canada, Europe, etc.. Here's my list: -------------------------------------- GCE Vectrex Units MO: HP3000 (USA) 0000001 - Has Been Found (location is under wraps, but not too hard to find Owner does not wish to sell it ) 0010627 0011629 0015840 0020978 0025575 0029907 0039282 0049458 0049823 0055362 0056954 0059413 0061710 0061936 0066266 0072720 0092498 0094206 0094557 0094586 0114437 0115926 0124859 0119420 0125647 0133519 0142320 0143841 0146020 0146795 0149956 (sealed in the box, view in Preserves section of my site) xxxx394 (part ripped off) ODD ONEs 133905A 139549A ("looks like these are consistently increasing. Maybe there where only 150,000 HP3000's produced. We'll have to see how high it gets.") GCE Vectrex Units MO: 3000-CI (Canadian Units) 1012059 1012980 1015335 1016057 1018131 1023011 1023062 1023435 1024993 MB Vectrex Units MO: 3000 UI-U.K. 2016726 2023309 2028604 MB Vectrex Units (Germany) MO: 3000-GI-EURO (EUROPEAN MB) Old ROM 3010206 3013344 3019282 3037558 New ROM 3061304 3063733 3064707 3064837 3084273 3086194 3090492 3116019 Other MB Vectrex Units 4012812 4018788 Notice the 1,2,3 beginning #'s for the MB EUROPEAN units. It looks like there may have been 5 different starting #'s 0000000, 1000000, 2000000, 3000000, & 4000000. Anyone have serials from the Japanese Vectre-i (I forgot how we were doing the plural Vectrex word - yes that has been debated as well )?

Mine has a second sticker with the serial number there. So the sticker on the back is not the only one on the case. Peteski >> Stay informed about: sales figures vectrex?
