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.

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

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.
