This early model Acorn Electron contains an issue one board with a 16K EPROM marked "ELK 036" replacing the lower BASIC ROM. It has serial number 06-ALA01-0000087, marking it as the 87th machine produced by Acorn's Malaysian plant. When the machine turns on, the usual "Acorn Electron" banner is instead replaced by "Electron Trial".
