| So, this ebay seller is claiming that, "As many already know the Silverscrew series was limited to under 10,000 (total) units...". Has anyone ever heard this before? |

From someplace that ought to know...a quote from 'The Boss Book' page 055 - section headed 'Coin Screw'...
"Among the coin screws in the first period products (so called "silver screw" units have been confirmed up to around BF-2 serial no. 10000), there are a number of different types, with subtle differences in form"
Perhaps a misinterpretation of this? It isn't conclusive and it could be read in a number of different ways. Maybe the seller believes that serial no. 10000 = 10,000 units...from what we know, that is unlikely to be true.
Either an honest mistake or a bit of 'artistic license' here? Definitely never heard of the 'limited edition ss' idea before - that feels like steamy bull poo.... |

Yeah, I reckon 10k is complete bull.
Roland/Boss has never revealed any production totals as far as I know. When I estimated the production totals (http://www.bossarea.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4258), I estimated 10000 SP-1s alone and 99% of those have silver screws. I can't claim that my data is correct but I think there's far more silver screw pedals than 10k.

| I think the Boss Book's error is partly due to translation, and partly not truly understanding the nature of the ink-stamp serials.. the rare 5-digit ink-stamp (either after 9900 or 0500?!) might be what they mean here. |

Good point verivorax - I didn't realise that the Boss Book was translated but that would explain a few oddities in it - still a great read though
