Strange serial number on my model m.
« on: Wed, 24 October 2012, 16:04:09 »
So today my dad decided to surprise me with a model m (awesome right?!). But the serial number was a bit, well odd. Its from 28-3-1988 and has the serial number of 1391411, also it doesn't say model m anywhere on the board. Is this possibly an model f?

What shape is the Enter / Return key?  I think the 1391411 is the ISO version of the 1391401.

Yup - it's a Model M.  Clean her up and enjoy!

Thanks, I'm planning on cleening it during the week end, You wouldn't happen to have any tips on removing the large keys, like the space bar and enter key?

Remove all the other keys around them first.

Then gently pull upwards from the corners or ends, gently rocking back and forth.

These are easier than most other types.

"The Trump campaign announced in a letter that Republican candidates and committees are now expected to pay “a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC” for using his “name, image, and likeness in fundraising solicitations.”
“Any split that is higher than 5%,” the letter states, “will be seen favorably by the RNC and President Trump's campaign and is routinely reported to the highest levels of leadership within both organizations.”"
