Thanks to eBay and a recent post on the BBC Mailing list, I ended up  
with more old computers - just as I'm packing them away! Jason  
Thacker was offering a box of bits (which of relevance, included a  
D15 build QL with a knackered membrane and Sandy 512K RAM; now  
repaired with the new membrane I fitted to a D07), and I bought  
myself an OPD off eBay.

The OPD is now in my office scaring callers, but I have a couple of  
things I'd like to seek out for it. I've got a monochrome AND colour  
monitor for it; the colour monitor has been modified (i.e. different  
cable) to be used as a QL monitor (for which it is incredibly  
suitable). If anyone has a broken example of the squarer colour  
monitor, I'd really appreciate the cable from it removed from the  
internal connections so I can restore this one.

I'm also looking for a 4-slot ROMPack/XChange 2.5 or an MEU, and if  
such a thing shows up I'm not actively disinterested in adding a  
floppy drive to the system, though I'm not worried about it.

Cosmetically the OPD is missing the "subscriber number" paper and  
cover plate from under the handset, and the colour monitor has a  
switch mounted in a hole above the brightness control which either  
had a control or a blanking plate?
