There's an AA after the serial # if the PB has been through the REA. If
there's no AA but there's a date stamp inside the battery bay (pop out
the battery & look), they may perform certain aspects of the REA at their
option. Serials will not appear in ASP in any 'Book prior to Lombard.
PBs with a B after the serial # were REAed at the factory prior to sale
or upon return from a reseller.
