That is one mean-looking machine! Great job, vanpeebles!
Put it on ebay as a "rare version of Sinclair QL" and see the bids go through the roof

All done! I soldered in a new connector too! I just need a new membrane now

Funny thing.
I have a QL with two SD slots. I realised I can lower the right microdrive square bump to be level with the keyboard case cover, and and going to start on that mod this weekend.
That is a really neat effect, and I would love it if you made a video showing some of the techniques you used.
How did you paint the keycaps but leave the existing two-shot molded parts clearly visible?
Are you interested in taking commissions?

How do you mean about the keycaps?

Can you post a photograph of the SD Cards slots?

Wow, that'll look good. Any link between XorA and the colour green?
