A truly disgusting state. It made me heave just looking at it. This is the way it was shipped from the US to Australia.

But, it's got the PET-style keys and I needed a SHIFT-LOCK to complete another machine ... and it was cheap (if we ignore postage from the US). Worse-case, I could make the cost back by re-selling it in parts.

Hopefully, though, I can restore it to working state with a standard keyboard though, and I'll have some spare PET-style key caps in case I come across another one with a missing key or two.
