| I will try an get a pic of the serial. Yes, it seems like its some kind of transitional type. It must have lasted only a short period, maybe a few months, until the two letter serial took over. |

| So what's the deal with the "A" prefix on the DC-3s? A friend is putting his DC-3 on eBay, serial A950369, and I told him about this thread...he'd like to have accurate info before posting. Thanks Bossarea. |

It's hard to say. Best guess is that they ran out of serial numbers and had to come up with an emergency solution to use before the new 2 letter, 5 number system was introduced March 1989.
That's still just guessing though  |

This would seem like a plausible answer, because it lasted a very short period. Perhaps pedals with this type of serial gets a collectability factor some day... |

�103. Terribly over priced but I hadn't seen one in a long time. Another one was obviously added the day after  |
