Kick Stand

Somewhere between Serial Numbers 34,000 and 40,000 Kaypro began preparing to add kickstands to their machines. By about 50,000 they were regularly installing the kick stands on the machines.

Here are three examples of the feet/kickstand arrangement:

No Kickstand
Transition to a Kickstand
With Kickstand

Note that the Kick Stand, Model Number and Serial Number are all part of the same piece of sheet metal so you can't swap parts and end up with a mixed machine.

Pre-81-003

You will see from the images below that the Pre-81-003 (I sometimes refer to them as 81-001 and 81-002) KII machines also seemed to have an option to add a kick stand though I am not aware of a factory kick stand being installed on them.
