It is believed that the first 10,000 US consoles were demo models used for Nintendo 64 demo kiosks in stores, at events, in promotions/commercials, etc. These all contain NUS-CPU-02 motherboards and have a serial number ranging from NS10000001x to NS10010000x. There is also writing etched on the underside of the Nintendo 64 unit reading:
DEMO USE ONLY
NOT FOR RESALE
Consoles with NS9xxxxxxxx serial numbers appear to be Nintendo refurbished systems and have a new serial number sticker placed over the original sticker. Here is an example picture of a boxed Nintendo refurbished system:-
So far half of all reported 'NS9' consoles have used the NUS-CPU-09 motherboard, however since all 'NS9' consoles have likely been refurbished Nintendo could have installed whatever motherboard revision they had available at the time.
