[SOLD] Black Unicomp Model M, GE logos, looks NIB, $60 shipped
« on: Thu, 05 October 2017, 18:50:38 »
I love these boards, and it's taking much will power to tell you guys about this one rather than buying it myself (I already have this p/n, tho, dang!):

IBM Model M GE General Electric Medical Systems 2015 PS/2 2054858-001








Seller says "used", but I think they're just assuming that because it's a couple of years old—it looks NIB to me.

I've seen relatively few of these GE-logo boards. They usually say "Marquette" or "Marquette, a div. of GE".

Buckling springs, wacky numpad, etc. Search GH for marquette for discussions of similar boards.

Grrr...must resist. I seen this one as well. It has taken me a lot of will power not to buy this one as well. I tried to get it for less but the seller was firm on the price.

Haha, someone bought it and it wasn't me. Did someone here get it?

That was a steal for the price!  I wonder who got it?

If they did, and they don't really want the nice yellow keycaps, you know where to send them ... :D

Cool, but it lacks the famous "Urine" key.

Of two minds whether I want such a key on my keyboard.

Pretty sure it was a yellow one, but can't swear to it.

I got this!  I got my first big promotion in IT while working in a hospital so this was the perfect board for me.  While it doesn't have the urine key it does have "rad" "comp" next to each other and that makes me smile every time I look at it
