Light blue. Shocked Nice PC! These Ripelys are definetly my all-time favorite PCs! Unfortunatly the plastic they were made from was sub-par and is usually what causes the PC to die (either the outer plastic becomes too brittle and cracks, letting water in or the window becomes fogged blocking enough light from getting to the eye).

If you unscrew the cover, the inside will still be the original color. Smile If you decide to open this up, can you post a pic? If you decide to leave it unopened that's cool too. I haven't opened my FP inside-painted PC since i want to keep it as original as possible. the last time i opened a vintage PC (it was one of these from 1989 that was with my OV-10) i dropped it by accident and that was the end of it. Sad It was still sensitive too.

I can open it,I gave it a eye transplant years ago.

Can you take a pic? thanks. Cool BTW, what kind of CdS eye did you use? i'm trying to locate a replacement eye that can replace a dead one in one of these that i own. Neutral

Hey Mike, I have taken a pic of this PC opened up for you. I found some 3/8" eyes on ebay awhile back,I'm not sure of their rating but seem to be fine and have good sensitivity.
