We have found the serial number 3,016 but also have found the number '16' on at least three major compoenents and now wonder if the serial number is really '16' and 3,000 was simply added to make it appear that more than 16 had been made? I guess the thing to do is to find out if anyone else has a Model A Thales with a serial number lower than 3,000. It does show some wear and we have estimated its rating at 2-,2.
