[Coco] Grey case coco1 with melted keyboard?

[rietveld rietveld]

Thank you. Wasn't sure what was up with it. It works well so I think I did ok. I paid $50 Canadian for this and a second coco1 (chicklet keyboard) and two matching carrying cases ‎ and original manuals

The first 64k CoCo came out in the RS catalog in 1984 as Tandy was
introducing the CoCo 2 (in Standard Color and Extended Basic variants, 16k
RAM max). The 64k CoCo has the off-white body with a catalog of 26-3003, so
what you have is an earlier CoCo with an upgraded keyboard and a replaced
RAM badge - which is easy to remove and transfer to any other machine.

The off to the left large badge in your CoCo body and the black frame
surrounding the keyboard gives away that body as one of the earlier ones.
Later CoCo's had a centered TRS badge and a gray keyboard frame.
