That's just a guess, but the highest serialnumber on an SDSV which I have ever seen was something around 2500 or 2800. If somebody has a higher number: Please let us know. BTW: The main difference between a Musicaid and a Simmons SDSV is (as far as I can say): The Simmons has a zink-coated chassis, the Musicaid not :-) http://www.simmonsmuseum.com/p/blog/musicaid_sdsv3.jpg
It's going to be hard work...
