:   The keyboard is an original Apple ][ keyboard, not from the Plus.   The Rev
: number is also under the slot sockets, right above the CPU itself.

:   The machine is originally an Apple ][, not a ][+. Maybe that's why you're

The world of ][/][+ machines is kind of muddy anyway.  Both of the
machines the school had were identified as "apple ][ plus" on the lid, but
one was a ][+, 48k, Autostart ROM, while the other was a ][, 32k, Old
Monitor ROM, and an installed Applesoft ROM card.  Both had the two-board
keyboard (with the selector switch for RESET/^RESET) and both had the flat
white lens for the power light, not the thing that looks like a key on the
unit on auction.
