Well, I've spent a couple of nights disassembling it, cleaning it, and
putting it back together, and it seems to be a model B. So my excitement
at having something rare is deflated, but its still a Beeb which is Not
To Be Sniffed At.

I'm chuffed with how my keyboard turned out. I pulled off each top
individually, scrubbed them all with a toothbrush, and left them to dry
out. Looks brand new! The outer case hasn't cleaned up terribly well
though (someone called Alex chose to sign it with a permanent marker) so
I might still transfer it to the Pheobe. Anyone got any circuit diagrams
of the keyboard unit (like the pinouts, for example)?

On an unrelated note: when I was given the Beeb, I was also given an
Electron, with tape-player and collection of tapes. What shall I do with
this lot then?

Cheers,
