Re: serial numbers

[Alan Chan]

I only know that there are 2 versions of MX. As far as I can tell, the 
latters are better buy due to some improved inner parts (especially the 
circuit).

Older MX:
- serial number started from 9
- metal memo holder
- "Asahi..." engraved on the top plate near the winding lever
Newer MX:
- serial number started from 9
- plastic memo holder
- "Asahi..." molded on the plastic memo holder
There inside of the camera backs are slightly different too but I don't 
remeber exactly.

Is there a site where I could get serial number information to date
cameras that I bought used?  I'm curious about an MX and a 645.  No big
deal here, just curious.
