Its actually pretty easy to tell a BBC B from a B+, even without turning it 
on.

If you take the top off, a B+ has 6 ROM sockets in the rear left of the PCB,
while a B has 4 at the front right.

Most of the other components are also in different locations, but that is 
the
most obvious way to identify one from the other.

Out of interest, is it a B+ 64K (no SWR banks) or a B+ 128K (with the
Acorn riser card at the right of the case to give 4 SWR banks)?

Regards

Michael
