So, exactly how much of a unicorn is the Industrial SSK? I've decided I want an SSK and I really like the look of the industrial one, but I'm afraid it might be a futile search.

They're out there but it will probably be a long and expensive search. Apart from the couple of photos here I've never actually seen any others online.
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

My question is how do I turn on/off the numpad functions? My computer seems to boot into the numpad sometimes. And for now I've been unplugging the re-plugging the board, but surely there's a key or combination to press to turn the numpad functions on or off...

Shift+scroll lock
THANK YOU!

(though, mine seems to sometimes swap to it on its own then. I've never hit shift+scroll lock before, but I have suddenly been typing numbers seemingly at random)

Your scroll key is supposed to have NumLk on it, like the picture below...

Ah, that makes sense. I replaced all the keys with the two-piece stems + caps from another board I had lying around. I like the feel of the two piece keys better, but the tkl-specific printings obviously weren't on the full sized keycaps. Thankee

My collection at one time had 4 SSKs. I've sold 3 of them, keeping one from 1987 with 2-piece keycaps.

Here's mine :D



(I will get a better photo soon I promise)

It was in a bit of a sorry state when it arrived (a good 10 or 12 keys didn't work and it was fairly filthy) but a good bolt mod, clean and floss mod later (plus the addition of some RGB caps and a GH sticker to hide a little damage on the case) and it looks pretty darn good :D

Really love this keyboard but I'm beginning to itch for something to slap on it, like an APL set from unicomp or a clack or something

BS clacks seem quite hard to find..

In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

If you are referring to Bunny's SSK, someone else is already apparently in negotiations to buy it! :eek:

I received this beauty today: it's the bottom one, a '91 vintage IBM 1391472 SSK, next to my other SSK, an Unicomp ISO layout UNI04C6.

Sorry for the bad quality of the photo that doesn't do it justice.
It's got a precise and consistent feel through all the keys - really superb work of love by phosphorglow. This is #5 of a set of 6 SSK that were pretty badly beaten up and are now back to life. Really an amazing work!

Were those the ones with the coloured backplates, or am I thinking of something else?

Right, it's the red one: http://phosphorglow.net/2014/05/21/grungy-rusted-and-broken-ssk-no-5-december-4th-1991/

There were 4 of them left when I ordered it, and phosphorglow suggested this one considering my preferences and style of typing...
I have to say he totally nailed it, the more I type on it, the more I love it. I'm not new to Model M's (I have 5 more) but this is definitely the best overall.

I also wanted to get one from phoshorglow, as i looked on his page there were already 4 sold. Really fast! I was not sure about shipping from the US to Europe, since this keyboards must be heavy bastards!

Luckily i found and bought another SSK here, which will arrive today i hope!

I really liked the yellow one, but shipping to Australia would have killed that idea before it started.

I was able to get one of the SSKs from phosphorglow. Amazing transformation from scrap heap to probably better than new from the factory. Each ping made from the keys seem well tuned and every spring on every key feels like new.

Interesting. Can you post a second shot that shows what's printed on the front of the keycaps?

Nice boards guys! I haven't seen those red legends before, but the keycaps look like they are in really good shape (no shine.)
SSKs for everyone!

I just posted this in keyboards, but I'll post it here anyway.

So my father does some electronics recycling on the side and a while back he was given a box of old keyboard, all junk, or so I thought. I pawed through them and found a model m. I knew they were kind of popular and checked eBay real quick for "IBM Model M". I saw them going for like $50 and thought "oh, cool. I'll set that aside".

Move forward a few months to a couple days ago and I decided to look a bit more and did an eBay search on "IBM 1391472". There was nothing. So I checked completed listing and couldn't believe it. The lowest one had sold for was $215!

Now I can't make up my mind... Sell it and pay rent, or rock it? I have a black widow ultimate with mx cherry blue switches and I am completely satisfied with it. But I still think I am at least going to have phosphorglow refurb it. I'm thinking just some RGB keys, maybe a panic button (I know, real original...). Then I'll either rock it, it sell it, but it's an investment either way. Now on to some pictures! (nothing too pretty though)

What LED mod are you getting done?
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

The SSK has caps lock and num lock LED functionality, just no LEDs. He mods in the LEDs under the key caps of the num lock and caps lock that actually function.

This is my '91 SSK that was fully restored by Maxx at phosphorglow.net. He really worked his magic on this one. Here's the link to the full restoration to give you an idea of the magnitude of the transformation: http://phosphorglow.net/2014/05/21/grungy-rusted-and-broken-ssk-no-2-april-10th-1991/
He even painted the barrel plate purple while he was at it!

How do you like the LEDs? I thought it was an awesome idea. I told him to go with the greens because I thought it suited the board (as most keyboards, specially old ones, used green indicator LEDs). He wont even have my board in his hands for a few days, so I may change my mind, but I think I'll stay with the greens.

Go with whatever color you like.   I asked for Red LEDs on another one that he's working on right now.

So you must have liked it if you are having him do it on another? What was his turn around time? I'm in no hurry, just curious of what to expect.

That's an absolutely amazing restoration!

So many people would have just thrown a keyboard like that out, but no, this one was restored, with stunning results!

And now it will likely last for another 20+ years!

I was absolutely blown away by the transformation! Maxx sent me some before pictures while he was in the process of restoring it and they had me a little worried if it would turn out or not. It's like a brand new board now though! Completely flawless! He even had to get new circuit membranes printed for this batch of SSKs. He said that they were by far the worst he's restored but that didn't stop him!

Just those loose rusty springs rattling around inside the case would be enough to put most people off (me included!)

Do you mind if I ask what the restoration cost?  Not an exact figure, if you'f prefer not to tell, just a vague idea - $100, $200?

He has his rates on his site. I don't know if he charged him any more. But he offer the restore service for $55 Which I think is VERY reasonable if you see his work and watch that youtube video showing a time lapse of a restoration. Its an extra $15 I think to paint the board and $25 for the LED mod. But it may have been extra for him considering the extent of the restoration.

I bought the fully restored keyboard from Maxx for $250 (I didn't supply the original keyboard, Maxx got this one and five others from a recycler all in this terrible condition). For the amount of work he put into it I think the price was extremely reasonable.

Seriously like new :)
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

This is my '91 SSK that was fully restored by Maxx at phosphorglow.net. He really worked his magic on this one. Here's the link to the full restoration to give you an idea of the magnitude of the transformation: http://phosphorglow.net/2014/05/21/grungy-rusted-and-broken-ssk-no-2-april-10th-1991/
He even painted the barrel plate purple while he was at it!

Purple Plate! Oh man, Im wishing I got a board from him in the past when I was talking to him.. Beautiful work!
