I really thought this was a neat keyboard, and expected it to be selling for like $30-40.

Well, it does say "Make an Offer".   :)

Made an offer of 30 =P

Hey, I'd offer at least $40. But I'd include a comment like, "You DO know this is worth only $40, don't you?"

It's a model F122. The case top has been swapped out for a M122 which is less brittle. It has APL keys. A THOUSAND DOLLARS.  :confused:

Ouch! An excellent example of why non-enthusiasts are reluctant to pull key caps. Price of this board probably went down 30% or more.

Yeah, too bad. At least they were up-front about it. I just thought it sadly ironic that they used it to show the switch type.

Unfortunately Alps keysets are pretty hard to come by. In general, you either need to harvest another Alps keyboard, or find one of the rare Alps slider over rubber dome varieties with the same layout.

Because of one broken cap?

I figure that a significant number of people would balk at soldering in a new switch (trivial to others) but finding a properly matching double-shot cap is going to be well-nigh impossible, rendering a "complete set's" value crippled, so that leaves the thing as little more than a switch donor board.

F ATs have been tragically under-rated for a very long time, and, despite their seemingly "mainstream" provenance, they don't actually turn up for sale very often.

My guess is that there are an order of magnitude less of them than XTs, and that they are worth at least triple the price of an XT.

Also, this one seems to be clean, complete, and tested good.

Ha Ha.

"Clean" as in arriving from ebay is a lot different from "clean" as sitting on my desk.

As ebay vintage keyboards go, I would say that one is average or better for cleanliness. If I was buying it, I would immediately break it down into its individual parts and rebuild it, so personally I pretty much ignore ordinary dirt.

When I sell a keyboard, I make sure to specify whether it is "as-is" or "lightly cleaned" or "thoroughly cleaned inside and out"

I utterly agree with you, Fo. And perhaps ATs will reach these prices before long.

Given that the warping is consistent and severe on one side of the board, I'd say this person had a small space heater on their desk. Good thing replacement caps are simple to source, because those need to go!

edit: I see it's really bad on the left side too. Gotta toast it evenly on both sides, I guess!

Speaking about prices: A German eBayer sells an IBM Model whatever from 1985 "like Model M/F" (huh?).

Quote
Used IBM buckling spring keyboard, built 10-10-1985, in very good condition. It was unused for most of its life, protected by the included plastic cover. There are just a couple of small marks and scratches on the case and the cover is discoloured. The feet extend (see picture). Made in United Kingdom (Greenock, Scotland). German layout. I am unable to test this superb buckling spring keyboard but an adapter is available. No guarantee is offered, and no returns accepted.

EUR 1.500,00

Anyone interested?  :))

Someone entered way too many numbers on that keypad. Or maybe it belonged to Salvador Dali.

Oh, I am pretty sure that particular beamspring used to belong to me actually. I am fairly certain based on the location of the seller in that listing as well as the pictures matching up with the ones I sent him prior to trading it to him. He did inform me that he was planning on selling it on ebay shortly afterwards, but I was expecting the list price to be half that at most maybe. Not that it matters because I am pretty much certain it won't sell at this price anyway given the much rarer or better condition beamsprings currently listed at lower prices.

So, there's just one thing I'm not clear on here:

IBM Model M Mechanical Clicky PS2 Keyboard 1994 Model Number 1397599 Lexmark USA

BIN $500 + 19.95 US shipping


202770-0


202772-1


202774-2


Are grimy Model M 1397599s actually worth this much now? Or is it the novelty DAMN IT key that sends the price zooming? Some of these custom keys can be pretty pricey.

Seeing the glue under it, I am pretty sure that key won't work.
