    Back in the day (1990's) I heard the number 50 mentioned quite often 
for the MM/1 and someone said only a dozen or so Tomcats I think they 
were talking specifically about the TC9 it was as far as I can remember.
I do not remember ever hearing how many of the WCP306 or Delmars were 
sold but I do remember people saying that the MM/1 had been the most 
successful, however I think the WCP306 was the last of the three to come 
out so I may have heard this in reference to the MM/1, Tomcat and Delmar 
only.
I do think the WCP306 was the most affordable of the four.
