odd notes on my heavy switcher metal box

[atari70s]

I hopen it up to do some cleaning and dusting and i noticed 2 things attached to my metal box one is a green lable ( like a price tag thing reading 1185 2) which is odd maybe a code enough and in hand writting 1977 on a piece of paper ( the type that some calculators print using ) saying 99 35600002. #

 

this might be somethign for Curt to look over anyone want to call him over. but just odd and figured it might be interesting

I have a less exciting find It was a note in my Pong.. I dont think Pong notes are all that rare.. but here it is

In the early days there were a lot of defective units. They did a lot of testing on the assembly line and these could have been some units that had trouble or otherwise needed inspection notes on them.

I've opened both my six-switch (one heavy, one light), and both of them had "notes" taped to the metal box as well. Since they're both closed up at the moment, and I don't feel like opening them again, I can't say what was written on the paper. I don't remember it being anything that would make any sense to us though (ie, just a bunch of numbers)

Almost every VCS I've opened in the past had a note like this on it (either hand written or typed). I don't think it's too rare.
