Replacement BBC keyboard surround and labels

Post by rubber_jonnie »

In case anybody is interested, user baz4096 over at stardot has had reproduction BBC B labels and keyboard surrounds made. I've just received mine and they are fantastic, and reasonably priced at £24.

I fitted my replacement keyboard surround this morning:

And I have to say, bar some minor font colour/size differences that I have fed back to the person running the project, it has made my rather battered 3rd Model B look really much nicer and I'm really happy with the result.

I can recommend this project if your surround and labels are past their sell by date.
