Title: 1390131 chassis in beige?
Post by: lowpoly on Wed, 08 July 2009, 05:42:08

Is this common? Never seen one of these before in beige. But I don't have that many Ms. It's from an 1390131-like board which I got for parts. Not sure if the gray stems are original, as keycaps were missing or relocated.

Somewhat unrelated, but what's the model number of this German 1390131?

The green dot is everything.

Unrelated, this label is paper with an added protection film.

Found two ocurrences for the fcc id, both OEM models.

My '90 1391401 is beige on the inside.  I found it odd too.

I wonder if the stem color is supposed to match the cap color on the two-piece keys. It was like that on mine but there are not enough gray stems.

Gray stems with ivory for F and J is what I've seen so far on other boards. Must be some production thing. "Nipples go here!"

My '89 1391401 has the same beige key tray.  It came with about 95% dark key stems, and a few light.  Its always hard tell if the keys are transplant or not tho.

I fail to see a pattern with either the stems or the chassis colors.
