Title: My Model M collection
Post by: chris_R on Fri, 17 November 2023, 13:38:31
A few years ago I heard about a vintage computer collector/E waste company running a big auction with a bunch of stuff

I ended up with a few dirty old Model M boards

I ordered a teensy and flashed soarers converter onto one of the boards

A few years passed when life happened, I recently remembered I had these in a box and carried on

Pulled the key caps and gave them a clean along with the housings

Everything cleaned and assembled

Ordered the missing key caps and it's now complete

Cheated a bit and ordered a model H converter for one of the other boards
