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.

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.
