Thanks Bruce.

I see what your saying. On page 34 it is listed in 1981 as :

26-3003 - n/a     - 32K CoCo 1

I don't think that n/a means 3003A though.. I mean was there a 3003N ? I 
think this is just an original 26-3003 with no A.
More honestly, maybe just wishful thinking on my part! :)

The only reference to 3003A I can find is on page 76. What I pasted 
previously in another mail:

64K CoCo 1; TDP-100
IDENTIFICATION : Beige Case, Low-profile keyboard, vents
on sides (some early models came with CoCo 1 style cases and
keyboards)
CATALOG NUMBERS: 26-3002A, 26-3003A, 26-3004A, 26-
3005
BOARD REVISIONS: "NC" (also called "F" or "285").

This is the reason I purchased it. After I had found that. Then doubt 
started to set in!
I was thinking this one is what they are calling an early model with coco1 
case and KB.

Here is the auction link. Maybe someone who knows a lot can tell by the look 
of the machine or the serial number (0004144).
The TRS-80 badge is centered on the computer.
