A set of newly manufactured surrounds for the keyboard area, rear and underside of your Model A / B BBC Microcomputer.
These were produced by myself, an individual, funded out of my own savings, with the kind help of several Stardot Forum members. More details can be found here.
What these are:
- My best attempt to replicate the Acorn original spare parts
- Professionally digitally printed
- Cut with an industrial CNC knife
- Packaged with care
- Colour matched to an original set as best as both I & the printers can manage - this was tricky as originals all seem to yellow with age.
- Designed to fit both variations of the Model A/B case.
- Printed on a near identical material to the original Acorn versions. The printing is done on the reverse side, so cannot be scratched.
- Printed with UV resistant modern materials and inks and should last at least as long as the originals!
- Provided with a strong adhesive layer pre-applied.
What these are not:
- Despite my best efforts, these are not identical to the original - the Acorn versions were screen printed and die cut on an industrial scale. The set up costs alone for this are way out of my reach as a private individual.
- Not the exact same colour as the originals - despite my best research, I have been unable to locate a reliable Pantone, RAL or similar reference colour for these.
- Due to being digitally rather than screen printed, the text isn't as crisp as the originals.
- Available as individual pieces - The difference in cost of printing and cutting one piece (the keyboard surround), vs all three pieces (surround, rear and underside) in the set was minimal, and so I have opted to sell three piece sets only.
So far, over 100 of these have been sold, and I have fitted a complete set to both of my BBC Model B's.
Instructions for fitting these can be found here. Please make sure you are comfortable performing these steps before proceeding with your order.
