Retro Keypad Find

I was having a clear out and found this homemade keypad. I built this as part of my computing project when I was training to be a teacher in 1989. I used to go up to the Maplin store in Edgeware on the tube to get parts, or Cricklewood Electronics which was like the Old Curiosity Shop. This wasn't cheap either, I had to buy about 20 of the switches with separate caps, but it looked good when it was done with the Letraset transfer letters. The keypad was wired to a Sinclair Spectrum to allow entry of Logo-ish commands to a Lego Technic robot buggy.

Happy days!
