And another Bell & Howell - this one with a weird keyboard...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-II-computer-/282032033170
Keyboard is gray - and has a raised power light. Anybody ever seen a similar keyboard??
It's aftermarket.
I tend to snoop for a lot of Bell and Howell IIs, Especially since I own one and like to compare. I have never seen one like this one. I believe the keyboard was damaged back in its heyday and it was repaired.

I managed to grab a Bell and Howell Apple II Plus off of eBay today. It's an early version at serial number A2S3-001604 and has a raised square power button with, what I believe, is a Rev 4 motherboard within. I'll have to check when it arrives. I am super happy about this one as I've been after one for some time now.

Not mine
It does have the manual (which I've never seen before) and raised power light keyboard, whcih I've only seen once before. The interior looks like an RFI unit, which is weird since the last one I've seen with raised power light keyboard was sporting a rev 4 logic board. Is this a frankenstein?
