    Long story short, I have a CF-31 refurb that wasn't refurbished correctly, in that they forgot the main rubber seal for the 5 port covers on the right hand side of the unit.

    Anyways, I called Panasonic and gave them the serial number from this unit and the guy at Panasonic (Jeff was his name) said that having "PR" in the serial number right there shows that it's a "Panasonic Refurb"

    Thought I'd share! w00t! Never again will we worry on buying a "NEW" CF-31 when we get the SN and see the "PR" in it, we know that the seller is lying!

    Thanks
