[WTS]{PAYPAL}IBM Model M SSK Blue(40+), White(10); FSK Blue(4), White(4)

[fohat.digs]

I just don't like selling incomplete products even though they are used. It just sits uneasy on my conscious I guess.

Model Ms without cables is no big deal. Personally, after being in the hobby for a few years, I have at least 3 more cables than I do Model Ms at this point.

PS - no, I don't really want to sell them just now

[daskeybo]

You must have been a member before the original thread in the keyboard forum was started to be considered first an only 1 per person at this time.

When was that?

[dvdasa]

would like to be on the w/o cable list.

Wed, 20 September 2017

That said I now have enough keyboards that I don't think it will be an issue.

[Darkblade48]

Oh boy, please put me down for one as well! I've been looking for one for a long time (long time lurker. I hope my join date was before the original thread)...

Edit: Oh boy. It looks like my registration date was 9 days after the original thread Does this really mean I am not qualified to purchase an SSK?

[Ir0n]

Yeah those cables are pretty easy to find I have a few 5pin DIN cables I could use.
I'd be down for one without a cable.

[euphxenos]

Anyone needing a cable may also want to consider getting one of these:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/BEIGE-USB-to-SDL-6-Pin-6ft-IBM-Lexmark-Unicomp-Model-M-Clicky-Keyboard-Cable-NEW/271470078682?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649

That's a cable with an SDL connector for a model M on one end, with a ps/2 to usb converter built into the usb connector on the other end.

Of course, there are also plenty of SDL to PS/2 cables available out there.  I just think this is a neat option.

Thats a decent price, I see other versions of the USB cable going for 50 bux.  I need to get me one of those. I know the SDL crimper to make cables cost 13k USD.

No, it just meant that older members got first shot but now I'm pretty sure there are enough to go around that it wont matter.

How many do you have?  OP says list is way longer than the supply, but if I'm mistaken put me down.

There are 80 untested, maybe a few more than that, and I plan to test them tomorrow(Monday) and or Tuesday.  So far of all I've tested only one had a broken key on the SSK. So I expect most will work but I also have to look at their condition after I wipe off the dust and dirt. I haven't updated the topic title yet as I've not tested them and not found cables. I will as I expect most if not all will work.

Excellent! I would like to be put on the list for one (with white label), with cable (I am willing to wait).

Though you mentioned that it is easier to post here, rather than PM you, I've done the latter, since I would like to request for a shipping quotation outside of the US.

Cheers!

[E TwentyNine]

Put me down for two please.

[mason]

I'm interested in a SSK without a cable.

[Ilprincipe]

I also don't mind waiting for you to find the cables, no hurry.

[ipreferpie]

Please put me down for one

[jb1830]

If there's any left put me on that sweet list.

[bmmcwhirt]

I'v updated the original post with some more details.

If you see your name is missing from the list and you have posted directly in this thread let me know and I will add you in the correct position. If you sent me a PM please post here and I will get you added.

If you want an FSK please make sure you note you want an FSK not a SSK. I will have precise numbers on the FSK quantity on Wednesday. I will also post an updated date-stamped photo if I can get everything in the photo I'll do one just so we have a photo of them all together for prosperities sake.

[rasmusx]

Please put me down for one SSK.

I sent a PM about the list x)

[_rubik]

Depending on my position in the list and how many quality/working white labels there are, I would 100% pay that extra bit for a white.

You're making a lot of GH folks very happy, so thank you for all this work. 

[kevinhou]

I sent a PM. 

[bmmcwhirt]

I updated the list and I added some new photos to the OP.

[jorgenslee]

interested in ssk

[ddahron]

I don't mind the extra $25 for a white label; put me down for one of those instead please! Also, thank you for the update and pictures, they're looking great!

[002]

I am interested in a white label SSK!

[bminhz]

I'd love to get myself updated to the white label as well...the extras 25 would definitely worth it

[_rubik]

I just took a look at the photos in the latest edit (.

Wow .... just .... wow. I'm speechless .... much clacks.

[tron]

I wouild pay $25 more for the white label. Updated my original post to include cable/badge color preferences.

[Darkblade48]

I have also amended my original post. I was not aware that there were white label SSKs!

[Kavik]

I sent you a PM before reading that you'd prefer we post here, so I'll do both, oops.

I'm already on the overflow list, but I'd prefer a white label, and I do not need a cable. Thanks!

[Ilprincipe]

I'd also pay for a white one.

[rasmusx]

Would also update myself to prefer white label in the list. Thanks.

[madd]

Interested in a SSK, thanks

[supamesican]

I would like to be added to the ssk list please .   If you got an extra white label I'd be all over that, $25 is worth it, if not then meh i'll be happy with ether.

[ReadmeDotTxt]

Please put me down for a white one if there is still space.


Thanks again for all your work!

[fohat.digs]

There is rarely a pool that large. It may be extra work, but there are likely to be one or more "birthday" date stamps that would make somebody very happy ....

[bmmcwhirt]

It's been brought to my attention that I need to stick to my original stance of members who were members before my original post will get space in line ahead of anyone who joined after my original post. Also anyone who was no a member before that is not eligible for ASAP shipping.

I will rearrange the list accordingly before sending out any invoices for the units that are available.

I'm also setting up some ebay skimmer software to skim for anyone reselling these boards and logging the serial numbers just in case. Please do not buy a board to resell it.

man a birthday stamp would be cool, sadly most factories were closed on dec 24th back then

It's very unlikely as I've only seen July and December dates so far but I can try my best to accommodate anyone with a date request.

would any of them happen to be close to dec 24 cant hurt to ask I figure..

[ddahron]

I guess that disqualifies me then  I did register after the original post, but have been a long-time lurker. Anyways, thanks for the opportunity!

It does not disqualify you, only means you get moved to the end of the list.

I will check, I think I remember Dec 17th maybe. Most that I saw were 1992 if that matters to you or anyone but don't quote me on that till I check.

im from 91 so 92 aint far off. if no dec 24 are found(which i dont expect any) dec 10 would be cool too but if neither of those are found then meh its not biggie.

[aznreaper]

Hey I'm interested, I'll send you a PM regarding shipping?

[Signature]

Def interested

[bmmcwhirt]

I have added the updated list.

Due to the fact that it's getting cold out and that is going to significantly hinder our search we are looking at just sourcing the cables.

If we source the cables we'll be able to ship to you much sooner. The catch is you would have to pay the extra $15. essentially we just have the lot of cables shipped to us and package it with the keyboard. you dot pay shipping on the cable as we have them all shipped in one lot to us and eat that shipping bill. If enough people are interested we'll make this an option.

There were some of you interested in FSK/104. I'm trying to put that list together but if you are please make another post here in this thread as it will make my life easier. I will however go back through my messages for those people.

I messaged you asking about Dec-17 and sadly none of them at the time were of that date. If that's changed, I'd love to work something out, perhaps get my board forwarded to someone else in exchange.

Just noticed I'm listed for a blue label.  Can you add me to the white label list.  I chimed in for one earlier in the thread according to the hierarchy.
