Yeah, not fond of the half-assed copying of IBM's layout. Dullard says, "IBM's Model M layout is so good but why do big backspace? I can't punch enter with my fist. Little backspace better. BIG ENTER. BIG ENTER. We make little backspace - BIIIIGGG ENTER! HEHEHEHEH!!!"

That being said, I am going to assume the more yellowed pics reflect the true color of the board.

Probably a safe bet. The 2 that I have sold in the last few months (for $50 shipped US) were much nicer than this, but they may be much more rare in the UK. Cindy was making noises like she had scored a big lode of them recently.

And yes, small Backspace makes me want to cry.

"The Trump campaign announced in a letter that Republican candidates and committees are now expected to pay “a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC” for using his “name, image, and likeness in fundraising solicitations.”
“Any split that is higher than 5%,” the letter states, “will be seen favorably by the RNC and President Trump's campaign and is routinely reported to the highest levels of leadership within both organizations.”"

I know I should just focus on refurbishing my Zenith before I get anything else. Actually, a space invaders switch tester would be compelling  for me now because I want to test the switch but buying a whole board for the novelty isn't a good purchase for me at the moment.
