I don't know if there are actually production numbers available out there
in the www... I think the pickle is referring to:
1. Time of production
Most Quadra models were produced for business users for an extended
period of time, so models like the 950 and the 700 are pretty common.
Their prices reflect this...
2. Limited editions
Ferinstance... the Twentieth Anniversary Mac was only produced in small
numbers, so it's pretty nice if you can find one. I'm totally kicking
myself over that one... I worked at Claris about that time and could have
picked one up for a song.
3. Top of the line
Anytime you have a model at the top of the speed charts, it's probably at
least a little collectable.
4. Oddities
This is where you'll find the real cool ones. MacTV (built-in TV,) TAM
(upright form factor,) Quadra 605/LC475 (very small footprint,) and the
Cube (Ooohh factor) all fall into this category. These might be a
little more collectable than the run of the mill machines.
My Old stuff collection consists of:
SE/30 (128 MB RAM, 32-bit clean ROM) (fastest compact Mac)
IIfx (32 MB RAM) (fastest 030 Mac)
950 (256 MB RAM + 256 MB Nubus RAM Disk) (Most expandable 040 Mac)
840AV (96 MB RAM) (fastest 040 Mac)
PB100 (first real portable Mac)
LC475 (really tiny footprint)
You can see why I got mine... collecting is a personal thing for many of
us... it's not just based on how many or how valuable... ;)
smiles,
Jamie

Very unlikely, as they were produced in great
numbers, unlike every other Mac
that has began fetching premium prices.

the pickle
So are there actually production numbers available for
the various Mac models? One can roughly estimate,
sure, but is there any source for exact numbers
produced?
