2nd-gen ('88) Model M 1391401 w/cable, $58 shipped

This won't last long... Nowadays they're going for at least as much before shipping, and often without a cable:

IBM Model M 1988 Spring Mechanical Clicky Keyboard 1391401 F2 VTG

"Worked perfect when packed away many years ago..." (Don't you love reading that?)








One missing cap, but I'd ask the seller to check the box they had it in; it's probably there.

The rest will clean up nicely—and aside from a smudge on one foot, the back's almost creepily pristine.

Woo, and it has a red inspection dot:

Huh I never noticed the dots. This is definitely a nice one.
