[sdiy] Wondering as to the history of an unusual edp wasp?

[Julian]

>>Maybe an engineering prototype. In electronics a lot of those end up at
the engineers or employees houses. Maybe someone had one and put it out on
the market.


I got it from someone whod had it in their loft for some time.  They got it
from a 2nd hand shop in the 80s...

My opinion is swinging arround again now.  Ive just noticed somthing else :

The way the pannel is sheered off at the top.  I thought that someone had
just lopped the top of the pannel off, cutting off the internal speaker, and
the WASP legend in the process... (ie it started with a larger pannel
before)

But, now, looking at it, i see that, if that were the case, the yellow
border to the controll section would continue up at the sides, right to the
edge where the pannel has been cut, but thats not the case - it finishes
correctly in the corners with a right angle.

Possibly an interesting bit of history then, rather then a later abuse of a
rare keyboard.  Which, i guess, sits easier : )

Cheers, Julian
