Well, mine is serial 10000000. At least in binary--it's #128, delivered last October.

That is good. I had to add the left table drain, and it has helped a lot. I also plumbed copper tubing into both drains to carry the effluent to the left side of the machine base.

The schematic in the latest manual online says that four-digit serial numbers will have the fan. I took that to mean that they are re-starting the serial numbers at 1000 when the new electronics cabinet arrangement is introduced.
I installed a cabinet fan over the weekend. The stepper drivers are right at the top of the cabinet, and aAfter half an hour or more of running the cabinet top is perceptibly warmer than the rest of the cabinet.

The current Y-axis covers are accordion-style but they are straight across the top and well-supported (stiffeners in every "mountain" fold). The original Y-axis covers were also accordion, but sloped to a peak across the top, and only had 2 or 3 stiffeners.
