Something doesn't feel right about this 1390131

To my knowledge, 1390131 means square logo and AT cable.

Now, since SDL cables are trivially swappable, the cable doesn't mean much.

However, the 1390131 I have here features a PS/2 cable, an oval logo, and a strange Xeroxed-look label.

The board looks like a 1391401 in all but label.

Now, I could see a few possibilities:

* Actual rare product-- oval logo 1391031.
* Hybrid - start with 1390131, replace top cover (or conversely, replace bottom on 1391401)
* Weird fraud or warranty thing (explains sticker?)

Now, I'm not too irate yet... it's still a buckling spring board and I paid an okay price for it, but I wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't a 1390131.

Where did you buy it? "prepared_mind"? "monedas"?

Looks like a frankensteined board to me. Model M parts are easily swappable between models, e.g. my SSK has the controller of a standard Model M.

Further notes...

Componentry with date codes are late 1987; one sticker says "01/88". Key assembly (wire stabilizers on + and enter only) seems similar to an '87 1391401 I already had.
