Hi,

here's the results of the Simmons owners inventory... with comments from
yours truly. I decided not to go for a database but to include the
highest and lowest serials known. Brackets indicate model number
included in serial.

ClapTrap (mk1)007-384
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...
