Ha,
There are far more TRS-80's than Imlacs of any type, and most were
"gr'Imlacs".
I have an original 'alpha' imlac, without long vector support.
Its a bit more rare than you think.

My 1969 Imlac PDS-1 has a serial number of 2.
My very first ebay purchase about five or six years ago was a TRS-80 model
4. It wasn't known to me at the time of the sale, but it was serial number
430 or so (low to mid 400s). UPS however managed to destroy it, but that
isn't the point.
Considering the volume of machines tandy made, my serial #43x trs-80 had a
lower serial number than your imlac in terms of number of units produced.
Therefore, it was more rare. Want to swap? :-)
