ZT0551 Info

[chester22]

It was stated the the ZT0551 was Limited to a 1000 pieces, but I've seen numbers in the 1200-1400, So does this mean that there is more then a 1000 or that there a couple hundred blems/mistakes and this is the reason for numbers over 1000. I just bought one second hand and can't wait to have this beast in my hands. Also any suggestions for Mods/Tips .. Thanks!

I'm positive Thomas said there were a number of blems and that is why the higher serial numbers. From the blems I've had in the ZT line they take the zero tolerance very seriously. Somebody (Tommi?) was fired at least partly over an issue with a number of them. Thomas was very upset about this. I think slightly over the issue and seriously over having to let a long time employee, and probably friend, go and seemed disappointed in that individual. I think the forumites didn't know details but shared in the sadness a bit and it was a hard time for every ZT lover.

If thats accurate, there probably isnt more to be said or drug back up, so I expect, hope even, this thread gets locked.

The official number is 1088 pieces, the serial range is due to blems or not passing QC.

Thanks for the details. I searched for awhile but didn't find to much. But I have seen different counts as far as numbers.
But I've since found this info from Thomas

Final count on 0551's is 1301 pieces.
