Mine have yellow stickers saying 128K, but they look like they would peel
off fairly easily, particularly in school environments.

 

It could be someone swapped the cases around in the past, if there was damage
or a school name etc. on the original case.

 

One of my model B's arrived with a really clean case lid, probably from an
issue 7, but the base was very badly yellowed and had and issue 3 converted
model A board installed, so there much have been some swapping around at
some point.

Quick question please ? if I have what I am fairly confident is a BBC B+
128k model (it has the daughterboard to the right etc.) ? should this not
also have the Perspex legend as well, or did Acorn release these with and
without the logo?

 

I seem to remember someone having a lookup for board issue numbers etc somewhere
as well.

 

Thanks
