How to identify HP-49g+ production runs

[johnb]

This is exactly the kind of useful information I'm looking for.

Will definitely look carefully at the photos! Lots of sellers try to show just one photo; I'm not shy about asking for more, and not buying unless I'm satisfied I really know what I'm getting. I've been burned once. Once.

Eric's bit about the 49g+ serial numbers is especially helpful. I was able to quite quickly reject a number of units for sale by just looking at the serial numbers in the photos. (The TL;DR for that is: get a 49G+ with a serial number of CNA534 or higher, and load the latest ROM image.)
