| Sequential Macs |

I suppose this is not a huge deal. But I noticed today that two of my SE's where made back to back. By this time, many of Macs have been scattered around the world so to find two, a pair, like this I figured was pretty neat. If you think about it, all these years later they have been together since they left the line. From a collectors standpoint, I will restore them and keep them as a pair. Only for the oddity. As for their value, I dont think it adds anything. Now if this was rare currency, people would love this! 🙂

6,598th and 6,599th made during week 28 in 1987.
I also found some others that are close, but no other back to back builds. For example, I have several Classics and two are separated by just one unit. #78 & #80.
To think they could have easily been turned to scrap.

What are the odds? That's neat!

That's pretty cool. Â If you bought these second hand, they may have been apart of a large purchase. Â Maybe by a business or school, so they got sequentially ordered Macs. Â A lot of the equipment at my school is like that.

That is kind of cool - do you remember where you got them from? Â It might explain the matching up.

I do and the fact that they share the same computer lab tag on the front that tells more. They came from a university in Chattanooga, TN. One is mark #14 and the other #9. I will probably leave the metal tags on unless restoration ruins them. They will need a fair amount of work to get looking good again.

It is cool though 😉

Carefully applied heat gun or even a hair dryer may allow you to remove those asset tags without damaging them or the computer.

Just think. Wherever you got them from, they were side by side almost 30 years ago in the factory.
