Description:
We call it, 'Vlad the Dyslexic'. Why? Because this was once a Ukrainian keyboarded Clipper, sold in Canada. The hypothesis is that it was sold to a Ukrainian immigrant in the prairies and eventually wound up in a consignment store on Vancouver Island. However, the slugs have been re-arranged into something of a QWERTY layout, but awaits some donor slugs from an appropriate parts Super-5.
