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.



SDS-I (prototype) 1

SDS-1 (1)0405-2290

SDS-II (prototype) 1

SDS-III 0098-0160

SDS-IV (4)193

SDS-V (MusicAid) 0002-0078

SDS-V 581-6624

SDS-6 109

SDS-7 (7)0001-2536

SDS-8 (8)0362-4133

SDS-9 208-3928 (7090?) (misread 1 for a 7?)

SDS-200 2809

SDS-400 1143

SDS-800 1420-2347

SDS-1000 (M)4025-7898

SDS-2000 397-734

SDX 19-170

MTX-9 0523-2159

Trixer 1464

TMI 1029

MTM 114-846

ADT 370

EPB 665-880

SPM 8:2 771-2640

SDE 3085

Portakit 197

Silicon Multimallet 366

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...
