	The Catalog #, stock #, part code, and Description are most definitely
Tandy Corp. I don't remember what a 26-3803 is, but offhand, Id say it's a
Model 102. (The model 100 was 3801 & 3802) I also seem to recall the prototypes
(M102) matching your description. What may have happened was that these either 
were overstock, or that they came from the manufacturer (Kycorea) under the 
correct part #, but were the incorrect assembly. By the time these things
make it across the ocean, the manf. often will not take them back or it
costs more to send them back than they're worth. (Or someone in Business
Products Parts ordered the wrong thing and it wasn't discovered till they 
ran out of the old stock. ) Such pieces *Used* to get holes drilled in them
and then be sold as scrap. Looks like these made it out intact....
