True.

[Jim Nasium]

True.

Agreed, true

[Harlan (Deceased)]

Yes, as above it's true.

The receivers were subcontracted to Singer. Underwoods with Singer receivers usually sell for a premium.

[JimF4M1s (Deceased)]

Roughly serial numbers 2,630,000 to 2,655,000 (25,000) were B coded made by Singer Manufacturing Co.
I believe some have been found out of that range.
I don't know if all the receivers were supplied.

"The Postman" on the CMP forum is collecting S/Ns from members for a database.
Quite a few of us have Singers above the assigned range.
