I do think this Frankenstein creation is worth a look...a Spectrum+ with what looks like some sort of 'stringy floppy' tape cartridge system fudged into an Apple II case!
Also adorned with all sorts of labels which seem to suggest it was used as a dedicated wordprocessor for someone, yet the 'craftsman' didn't bother to find a way to use the superior Apple keyboard, the standard Sinclair spongey unit is fudged in.
Even at the time I can't imagine what possessed anyone to do this, or how it was ever thought to look good, or what specific advantage it was supposed to have.
Quite interesting though!
