NCR 80 plastic kit

It’s between 5° and 6°. So maybe 5.5°

With the feet flipped out it’s 10°

Thanks. I’ve never seen those measurements anywhere before.

I’ve never tried to accurately measure a keyboard angle before. The numbers I got were using my iPhone built in level. The NCR80 has some big open spaces where I can rest the phone to get a fairly accurate measurement. The phone said 7° every now and then, but then it would give me 5° like 5 times in a row.

I felt like 5° seemed a bit too flat. So I tried a different measurement. I set the case on its side and aligned the front face with the straight edge of a piece of paper. Then I used the back of the case to trace a line onto the paper. I don’t have a protractor, but I measured the angle with a speed square to be 6°

I now realize the counter I had the case sitting on was not level. So that’s where the missing degree came from when measuring with the iPhone.

I just reevaluated by moving to the floor, where the iPhone showed to be completely level.

6° and 12° with feet flipped out.

I trust this measurement to be 99% accurate
