I'm new and I need help.
« on: Sat, 01 September 2012, 15:44:37 »
I need a key stem and optionally a pause/break key cap for my standard IBM Model M keyboard. Does anyone know of any EU retailers or private persons that sell these?

Thanks

Sorry can't help you personally. I don't think there are any Retailers/Sellers that taylor so specifically to your request, but I could be wrong.

You've definitely come to the right place to ask this tho.

That's too bad. Do you know of any users on this forum with an excess of Model M keyboards that might have some I could buy?

As far as I know, the only place to get M's serviced is at Unicomp.  They are the current owners of the IBM buckling spring technology, and their website that they service old IBMs in addition to selling new ones.  They have a subforum at Geekhack, or you can just duck* it.

* "duck it" means the same as "google it", but I am a duckduckgo user. :)

I am aware, but 20USD shipping for items worth 2USD is not exactly a good deal.
