Your comments:

  • I have one I was given by an uncle about 30 years ago. It was black with a white front. I wanted to put it back to proper colours so I found a light green colour inside the case between it and the chassis. I got a match and painted it all this colour. I have been told they were never made in this colour but another comment here also mentioned the light green. I would like to find the correct power lead plug and also the correct PSU condenser capacitor as it has failed and oozed all its contents out. Soon to be restored.
