I am new to ShopBots. I was hired to setup and get a machine going. I believe it to be a PRT model, but can't tell if it is an Alpha or Standard. I have looked for a name plate but haven't found one. How do I tell?

The only input I can give is that when we recently updated our software
I recall getting a message on the screen that we had a pre-03/01/04 box
and therefore no serial number.
We know our PRT-96 was made in late-2000 (prob. Dec.?)
because it spent Jan.of 2001 on the water, being shipped down to this Caribbean island I'm on
and we were assembling it, kit-style, from parts, in late Feb. 2001.
It's not much.. but you do have a date to work with.
I'm assuming all Bots made after 1st. March 2004 have serial numbers --very cool!
I have a PRT Alpha.....The control box is Stainless steel...
I think the Standards have a Computer case for the control box.

Post a pic with the door open.
You have an alpha. (that is good)
Are the motors the 911 (non geared), or 98aa t7.2 (7.2 gear reduction)
the 911 motor left a little to be desired, and at one time shopbot offered a cheap upgrade to the 7.2 geared motors.
I have some extra drivers for the geard motors if you end up wanting to upgrade.
