|  Re: Drean Commodore 16 details -- finally...
Mine is #409...
Looks like, the boards were fully assembled before shipping to Argentina.
The board had lots of cold solder joints that looked like having had been fixed by someone (bad soldering points that get loose with dilatation). ...I'd doubt that it was assembled in Argentina, but looks like an early piece of a production run anyway...
The plastic box looks like having been manufactured by Commodore and then imported, too... from small signs here and there, it's certain that they have been die-casted on the same die as the other (German C-16's) box I have here.
From the other hand, serial number stickers are stuck on three independent parts (the bottom of the box, the motherboard and the keyboard); from that I'd say they did the numbering where they assembled the parts together.
