Almost all of my voyagers have these ghost legends on the keys.

To my surprise, a little quality time with a magnifying glass and good lighting has revealed:

4 x 11C* with what appears to be an entire 12C keyboard "underneath"

1 x 16C with at least a partial (but possibly full) 15C "underneath"

So it seems there really are plenty of these floating around after all, some even closer than one may suppose.

Thanks for the prod Harald.

* all 11C with '11 over 12' keys are the later single-spring battery bay style, while 1 other later style and 1 early dual-spring battery bay style machine have 11-only keyboards.
