Lisa Tank Problem
compu_85:
I kind of doubt all 3 of my systems came from Sun, but I suppose it's possible?
I just added RR lot #8013, Del Yocam's System. It's noted on the front "First Production Build May 1983" and has the manf date 3053. That's a nice tidbit of data.

Such a shame that system. Beautifully preserved on the outside, but destroyed on the inside thanks to those pesky batteries. Out of my price range too... some day I'll find a set of Twiggies and a faceplate to deconvert my 2/5 back to what it should be.
Looking at that auction, at the very end, they quote a 10,000 units manufactured figure. Who here's an appraiser for RR Auction?
I'll have to look at my supplies again when I can. I don't believe either of mine have those barcodes on them.

Shocking that they glossed over the battery corrosion!

I'd guess it is more likely that only the power supplies were replaced with units from Sun Remarketing, but maybe there is another explanation for the white stickers.
SR was selling SCSI boards with internal drives mounted on them, as well as the Sun20/30/40; I expect quite a few 1.2A supplies were overloaded.

The plot thickens... it seems we have our second AppleNet clash.
Compare Patrick's photo here:
...with this Facebook marketplace ad:
Both are AppleNet #00102439. Just like with the last AppleNet clash, one is an A-serial number and one is a B-serial number. We may have to start considering the possibility that AppleNets are not globally unique - perhaps only unique by factory or model or some other factor.
As a test, if you separate the AppleNets for A-serials and B-serials, taking into account that the A-series starts at a higher number, the tank problem now estimates just over 15,000 Lisas produced.
