Wow did not know about those model m numpad legends those are pretty cool. Gotta find myself a model m (but they are really overpriced in aus on like ebay cause there are not as common) cause I tried one at a meetup and it was really nice.
Might be worth looking into a re-shipper, either formal or somebody you know in the states. That terminal one required some cleanup and a converter, and obviously a few keytops were missing, but I got it shipped inside the US for under USD35. I also got a PS/2 GE Medical keyboard, a very clean Unicomp from 2014, for less than USD45 shipped. A lot of that value goes out the window for you, sadly, but slow USPS shipping might still be reasonably economical.
Pristine mainline Model M's are pretty pricy everywhere, though, with Unicomp setting the floor.
Yeah I probably will soon, it's just that I wanted to find one in aus because of quicker shipping times but it seems buying from the us might be the play.
I could also proxy a unicomp buckling spring board, I was looking at this split backspace one a while ago but shipping made me nope out but I might as well convert a AT model f and it would look a lot nicer.
