I had a sig once but it's gone. It used to display an icon of a Kinesis. Just imagine that.

It's also an XT layout, and with that filthy connector. I am sure you can find a better deal (Unless if IBM is rare in germany?)

Terminal XT, what the hell? Good luck getting it working to whoever decides to buy it.

EDIT: Kishy believes this lacks an internal controller, and would require dfj's replacement controller.

I have a couple like that if you're interested... at least, they are Model F XTs and I think at least one has this funny connector.  Postage from England to Germany won't be quite as bad.

How much would you sell it for?

Untested, you can have both for 50 euros plus postage.  If you want to do the work to adapt them to USB, I might buy one of them back again.  I don't have them in front of me now so I can't say for sure what the connector is (and I think they have a smaller 'chin' than the keyboard above) but they are definitely old layout Model Fs.

Well, I want only one but I can mod one to USB for you. :)

How about this: I send you both of them without charge, you convert one to USB and send it back.  (In the event that you need to cannibalize both boards to get one working one, you can keep it and pay me 30 euros.)
