You know I do :)

Incidentally I got this off eBay for £6.20. marked up as an Atari ST/TT/Mega external keyboard case.

Pretty sure it's not orignal Atari but I reckon it'll do nice with one of my spare keyboards and a bit of a mod to work with one of my Megas. Never seen one like this before.

Colour is not good, but something that can be worked on!!

Another challenge accepted :)

@rubber_jonnie looks like the keyboard case from a Lighthouse system to me...I have one here somewhere.
Pretty sturdy construction albeit not particularly stylish.

That would seem reasonable @JezC and I expect I can mod easily to work with one of my Megas. Since Mega keyboards seem to be like unicorn poop, I'll take what I can get!!

There is one on ebay at the moment @rubber_jonnie selling at £35 at present.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

Do a search for Atari Mega and you'll find it, am using the app, so no link to post, sorry.
