Serial numbers?

Somewhere once upon a time, there was a list of serial numbers published for the E and ER machines.
Anyone know where to find this?
Thanks

seriously, no one knows or am I just being ignored? (go on, I can take it):p

Skip Campbell, moderator of the Yahoo 10ER users group, has compiled a list of data on the older machines. He would be a good source for dating a specific 10E/ER.

I have a copy of the "Skip" listing from about a year and a half ago. From what I could tell it is not updated to often so if you give me your number I can see what it said...

SERIAL #R38645
It's a California ER,
Just went over to Arizona a few weeks ago to get it.
Sold the speed changer for more than I paid for the whole unit.
Gonna put a DC variable speed motor on it when it gets re-fitted for light duty milling use in my small metal shop.
I've got a Mark 5 also and am picking up two 10 E models here real soon.
It's a sickness.
Thanks for the help.

The chart says 1950.

thanks!
I will be talking to Skip about the other forum anyway, I had forgotten that's where it was.
I sold my last year production ER several years ago and it always bugged me that I did.

Interesting nameplate installation, rotated 90 degrees from what you would normally see. Looks like it could be a dedicated drill press.

This one will be upright all the time. That's why I switched it.
As I said earlier, this will be a light duty milling machine in the near future.
Damn, I love these old beauties. (I have a mark 5 for other duties.)
