Looks great. I hadn't seen one with the sleeves like that before. My sleeves were clear and in complete connected rows. Those look kinda like old keytronic buckling sleeves.

Nice job. Are the yellow arrows from a Wyse? I have a black 5100C, but it has all black caps, no grays.

Black 5100 is very common in here,black rubber looks very cheap.
