[SOLD] Rare Model M 1395674 (PC-compatible terminal emulator), $59.99+shipping

Vintage IBM Model M 1991 Keyboard (P/N: 1395674) F8 - TESTED & WORKING/FAIR COND











This rare PC-compatible (PS/2) terminal-emulation variant wasn't on any of the Model M lists when I found mine in 2015—and this is the first one I've seen since. Notice the cool front-printed legends, and how Esc and Pause were left intentionally blank. (At first glance they look like missing caps—but no.)

An entirely reasonable deal for such a seldom-seen board, IMHO!

Huh I would have passed by this one without a second glance. I can't say that I've seen this one before. The IBM rabbit hole grows ever deeper.

Hey, they put the Del from the numpad next to the space bar!

Yeah, isn't that quirky? I can't think of another M where they did that.

I just did that on my M. :D  I think they just swapped a cap to cover one that was missing.  They should have used tab as it would have fit better though.
