Oooh! Very nice work! Love the matt finish and the "QL" on the top.

Re: ql+ prototype rebuild ? possible

Attached is a zip of the QL pages. I made photos rather than scan as the book format does not lend itself to being flattened - the spine would be quite badly damaged I think. Not the best photos I'm afraid, but hopefully detailed enough for the QL+ project to make us of. If anyone needs another pass...

Re: ql+ prototype rebuild ? possible

I've only just read though this thread - My daughter bought me a copy of Delete which she found in an Oxfam shop a few years back, for something like £5. She knows me well, and she clearly got a bargain. Anyway, if I'd been a bit quicker I could have scanned the QL pages for you and sent them over. ...

Tiny little thing, and running a real 6502 albeit a more modern version than ...

Re: Today I Received...

30 mins ago these arrived form the US; I'd been after a set in good condition for a while. It feels slightly sacriligeous to remove the shrinkwrap from them as it's been in place for 30 ish years! I'm still missing the getting started booklet, but I'll reckon I'll manage OK without. ca-realizer-manu...

Re: Today I Received...

Is it not a nice Handheld QL? Sigh. I miss BlackBerry 10. I had 5 or 6 BB10 devices. The Classic with it's gorgeous keyboard, whilst not the fastest, is still a wonder of engineering and I get it out of the drawer occasionally and think what may have been if BlackBerry moved just a little more quic...
