Out of spotting Standards for the past six years, the highest number I've noted on a 2 Clip Standard is 19448. There are two exceptions in this range that are in 4 Clip cases. This is out of 54 examples. After that, my list has one more 2 Clip machine: number 20760. This is by no means conclusive as it is so easy to swap cases on these early machines, but should at least give you a general starting point.

flashpanblue: Congratulations! Getting one to operate quietly is quite a trick!

Valecnik: If you hadn't said that it had an Automatic reproducer, I would have guessed it was a Standard Speaker with that locating pin on the face of it. Very neat!
