Riser feet 2 or 3?

DutchAcorn · Post by **DutchAcorn** » Wed Jul 15, 2015 9:51 pm

Hi all,

My QL came with two riser feet. They fit perfectly on the two disc shaped flat feet on the rear side of the QL. Other QLs I see offered often include three riser feet.

Are there different models? Or am I missing a foot?

Thanks,
Paul

Nope, some apparently came with three and some came with two... Of course, some of the senior experts may have better a better knowledge footing

If you buy unboxed QL's, you get none

If you bought boxed QLs 25 years ago you had plenty of time to loose them

All boxed QLs were supplied with 3 feet.

However, some QLs only have 4 round rubber feet on the base, instead of 6, so you can only use 2 of the plastic riser feet.

I have never even seen feets!

There are two styles of feet: the first style has a central 'pin' that fits inside the rubber feet on the QL. The second type had two clips that would attach to slots by the sides of the feet and were supplied with Samsung QLs that had the modified cases. The pin type was supplied x3, the clip type was supplied x2.

British QLers almost never see the x2 feet option. It was never supplied there.

Time for a few photos then:

How do I see if this is a Samsung QL? It has the BT-type serial and control ports...

*Edit: changed the links to the photos

Samsung-made QLs have a serial number starting with SGxx- and I don't know of any that would have BT-type sockets.

To my knowledge, Samsung only made the "foreign" QLs, and those had a better RF isolation, including the DB9 sockets in order to pass stricter RF emission regulations.

But after 30 years, you can't automatically assume that outside and inside of your QL might have been produced for the same computer

(i.e. repairs often lead to colorful mix of kit....)

I fear, the sticker on the last picture is not the serial number.

It is not?

It's the only number on the QL (apart from the ones on the keyboard

).
