Default Re: Sinclair ZX81

As far as I know the raised ZX81 logo on original ZX81s was ALWAYS painted red, but, being raised, it was prone to being worn off during normal handling. My original ZX81 (bought / built as a kit in 1981) has roughly 85% of its red logo paint intact.

When this happened it made the machine look pretty shabby so people sometimes removed what was left of the half-worn red paint to neaten the appearance of the machine.
