UL Pending sticker?
« on: August 30, 2007, 11:12:47 AM »
I recently picked up three A1000s and the guy I got them from told me one of them was bought within the first week of the A1000's launch. I noticed on a "UL Pending" sticker on the bottom of one of them where the rest of the 1000s I've seen have the normal UL logo.

The sticker looks like this:

Would this be the super early model? Any idea when the 1000 was UL approved?

Typically electronic gear cannot be mass-produced until it receives the UL approval. I am wondering why the early 1000s were allowed to slip through.

No UL markings on the PSU.

Then it's probably just a very early unit.
