Thanks !

Kind of an oddball though .. not? The Amiga Technologies models don't have the serial number above the zorro slots plus their serial numbers start differently. Plus they don't have the triangle with exclamation sign up by where the battery is.

Braunschweig - 8 digits
20000030
20000073
20000093
20000099
20000112
20000128
20000131

West Chester - 7 digits
9000001
9000002
9000020
9000043

Mine
1000030 - 7 digits

I have no clue :)

Looks similar to the enwp: German tank problem.

Gives for Braunschweig=148 West Chester=52 Mine=59 in total: 259

The Bayesian estimate would perhaps give a better result.

I'm trying to estimate the number of Commodore Amiga 4000T produced (not the AT models), by collecting the serials. There's a thread here where I enter the serials. You can post your serial here or post it directly in the thread at BBoAH.
FYI,
I just read in one of my Amiga magazines that C= produce 1000 of the original C= A4000T before Escom took over.  
That was a quote from one of the Escom people talking about the new A4000T's that were going to be produced.

I probably should have note which magazine it was but I didn't.  Probably Amazing Computing.  If I find it again, I'll post the info here.

I calculated the Bayesian estimate:
Braunschweig=156±31.225 West Chester=63±35.4965 Mine=0±0 in total: 219±66

Quite far from the Escom estimate. It's however at least in the right ballpark figure. Guess we need more data..

Many of the Escon towers has a Commodore Motherboard. So it could be true that CBM produced 1000 (motherboards) before going down - however only very few of the propbably 1000 produced ended up in Commodore Cases (being at true CBM A4000T). As far as we know only around 200 ended up i CBM cases - the rest was put in Escom cases from around 1996.

How do we know that?
