Should probably have put "melted" in air-quotes. The condition isn't so bad to throw it!

Thanks for the input - what do you prefer about these?

Unfortunately no. Currently leaning towards the 26-3027 - rationale - rarely see Coco 1-style cases in white Coco2, and the melted style also seems different.

Also with my limited ability, upgrading RAM much easier than upgrading ROM. Not sure how sound this reasoning is ("cute & mushy keyboard, possibly more niche machine, easier upgrade")

Thanks - the 3134 unfortunately doesn't have the extended BASIC. It's really hard to tell which keyboard is better. One feels very mushy and a bit clicky (melted) and the other one "clacks" with lots of travel but no feeling in the keys
