dwarf wrote:Why D1 SW is suspicious to your eyes ?D1 seems to have a seam on middle of back cover, is it not a possible sign of an original SW of TSR of the early 80s ? Are D2 and D3 SW more "original" because they are loose and wavy on the module ?I'm interested to have details about your opinion on these SW items.
ExTSR wrote:Right. But the D1 shrink might be genuine; the seams look right (just not the bubbles).But that shrink is indeed typical of early '80s... and D1 came out much earlier than that. :/
dbartman wrote:What ExTSR is alluding to is that these modules were packaged with shrink that was normally loose or "bubbly", not tight, like later modules. The SW on D1 looks different than what would be normally expected for a monochrome.
