Hmm... that's only 2 weeks older than mine and 44g difference. Are you weighing only the plastic?- no screws? 2-3% variation?

You have 15 of them? That's enough for a whole computer lab!

Look top right - then at the foot - then just below the screw hole. See the groove? None of my US made IBM M's have that. Means your foot is about to fall off!!! And those drainage channels are da bomb! :biggrin1: :usa2:

My measurements were without screws, just the shells. Two different scales +/-1 g.

That's that Britain gets for switching to the Metric system!

Are you like me and get weird stares when you go to your town library just to check out the Model M's they have on their computers?

I've got my sights set on whenever my town library gets new computers. I'll bring a wheel barrow and fill it up with keyboards.

Here's a pic of the drainage chute on the 92G-

and the drainage hole on the 42H

I noticed that that British Model M has all-black captions on the number pad. Were they all that way?

I think it was common on later Lexmarks too. The '93 Greenock-made 1391406 has the two colour keycaps like the US ones.
