Yes, I think you're probably right - the 4P looks like it might be wood on
the sides (but possibly retaining the same top/front/back formed metal
sheet), but the 1P seems to be metal (are the sides fastened to the bottom
of the case, or is it one complete piece?)
They are very vintage in apparence and function and
I've glad I've got
one. My oldest computer and the one that really started me collecting.
One of the things I really like about machines of that era is that often
the user built their own case - some of them can be rather elegant, but
I've seen some real horrors, too :-)
