Those of you getting the USB cable, If I have your location as in or out of the US you will be getting an invoice in the next 24 hours. If you are outside the US I have contacted you with the shipping rates. If I do not know if you are in the US or out of the US you need to let me know so we can discuss shipping.

im in the US but havent gotten an email/invoice from you yet. Should I re-send the PM I sent? If so I can do it about 8pm cst tonight

[bminhz]

I'm in the US and waiting for invoice as well

[reccatyo]

You could send to my friend's location in US to make things easier for you. 

[bmmcwhirt]

Ok, so paypal was supposed to import my spreadsheet and it's not working as they told me it would so I'm doing these all manually so bear with me they are coming one at a time.

[bmmcwhirt]

Ok, invoices have been sent to everyone that has US shipping. If you are having yours shipped to a US address and are on the USB cable list and did not get an invoice please let me know.

If you are having yours shipped to a NON-US address then I'm going to try to get a cheaper rate than what you were quoted so I have not invoiced you yet. That will happend tomorrow(Thursday Dec 14).

If you got an invoice that is incorrect let me know before you pay it as it's easier to fix it before than after.

[002]

Just FYI, you invoiced me for the USB SDL cable as well which wasn't in my order but I paid it anyway because it will probably come in handy.
Just letting you know so you can adjust your list to indicate I've paid for a USB cable.

Are you sue? I can correct that if you want. I don't want to put in one in a situation where you feel like you have to do something because of my mistake.

[002]

Yep, I'm sure -- no biggy.
Thanks

[pixelpusher]

Paid.  Thanks for doing this.  You're a good man.

[bminhz]

Paid! Thanks for making this happen

[tron]

Paid.

[reccatyo]

Paid, please check PM for shipping address. 

[mason]

I got my invoice and I will be paying tomorrow 

[Kavik]

What about people who have chosen to forego a cable entirely? I'm still listed as PS/2 when I don't need a cable at all.

[Wolf123rt]

Is it too late to get one of these?

[bminhz]

It's closed...no more orders

Kavik and Techno Trousers,  I will invoice you two when I get home form THE MOVIE.  Send me your emails via pm for the invoices and if you are in the US or not.

[supamesican]

Invoice paid address sent via pm :3

[bmmcwhirt]

For now. Follow this thread in case there ends up being more than what we have going out or if someone has to cancel.

[Wolf123rt]

Alright thanks

If it's not too late (that is, if more boards turn up or something), I'll take one. White label preferred but not a dealbreaker. Shipping to Sweden would need to be added for mine. And I don't need a cable.

[enchong]

This is somehow off topic. But what would be the difference between white and blue label aside from the manufacturing date? Why would someone prefer white over the blue label?

Earlier ones typically have a thicker metal plate from what I understand, which contributes to a much better feeling (at least in fullsize Ms it does).

[fohat.digs]

Earlier ones typically have a thicker metal plate

Earlier = 1988 at the latest.

There was another slight weight reduction around 1992.

The differences are marginal. Don't obsess about age. A blue label 1993 in good condition is a perfectly acceptable specimen.

Agreed.  I have several model Ms that vary in age all over the place and every time I think I know what year I'm typing on, I'm wrong.  And guess what?  They all still feel awesome.

As you read for now I'm not adding to the list. There may be more but I need to keep the list manageable and it's at the edge of that now.

[bmmcwhirt]

Payment arrangements with orihalcon have been made and I will have the cables soon.

The two of you wanting no cable at all your boards will go out Monday or Tuesday.  The rest will go out as son as the cables arrive.

As always I will keep you all up to date.

I tried to make arrangements with Unicomp to get some PS2 cables but they don't discount the cables till you reach a quantity of 50. So those of you still waiting on PS2 cables I apologies I'll keep looking for the cables I know I have and any other affordable solution. I do now have a closed in place to move stuff to and sort through it but we are still waiting on a heating solution other than kerosene heater. So resuming the search right after the new year will be doable.

[Blackhawk]

Sadly I missed out on getting one, but I wanted to give you props for offering these to the community at a very reasonable price

[typischt]

I have yet to receive an invoice for the cable. No sweat, just want to let you know in case something went wrong.

International shipping I will invoice when I have the cheapest possible price for shipping. For that I have to have the cables in hand to weigh the packages. So there is no error, I'm just making sure we get the cheapest shipping possible on international.

[bmmcwhirt]

I have the tracking number on the cables nd they will be here next week.  All this holiday stuff is making things slow including me. I wanted to ship the two keyboards that have no cable yesterday but some things got in the way and it looks like it will be tomorrow.

I apologies to everyone for all the delays. The good news is that when the cables get here christmas will be over so there should be no problems.

I'm a no cable one, and I'm in no rush. Totally understandable this time of the year.

Enjoy Christmas and don't worry about keyboards, dude. Thanks for your work

Ditto. 

[bmmcwhirt]

Thanks guys, I will just make one trip then and get these out probably on the 27th so I don't have boxes everywhere through Christmas. That will give me one day to put the boxes together and package and then take them all the the post office the next day.

Let me just lay this down right here so you can see the quality.

Oh did I mention they arrived today?

[fohat.digs]

Orihalcon SDL-to-USB cables are the finishing touch to bring any Model M into the 21st century.

[Darkblade48]

Orihalcon SDL-to-USB cables are the finishing touch to bring any Model M into the 21st century.

I firmly like to stay in the 20th century!

The new cables look awesome, but I still hope that the old SDL to PS/2 cables will be found in the new year!

[fohat.digs]

I firmly like to stay in the 20th century!

More and more motherboards do not accommodate PS/2, and many that do are not "true" PS/2 but rather have an internal USB "adapter" anyway. And then there are power consumption issues.

Personally, I despise heavy coiled cables, but many people like them.

Last, I mis-spoke earlier. These specific cables will not bring "any" M to life, only the SDL ones.
But Orihalcon surely makes something that will bring them to life!

[SamirD]

I love both cables--the heavy coiled original sdl, and this modern sleek version.  They can all have a home with me. 

[bmmcwhirt]

Building the shipping boxes and getting ready to print labels.

I have addresses for the following people. All others will goto your registered paypal address. I'm putting this hear in case I missed a custom address. You still have time to let me know if I missed an address.

The following are outside the US and I'm getting custom shipping for what you are buying. I will invoice when I get the cheapest possible shipping rate. If you are on this list and want cheaper shipping w/o tracking let me know as by default I'll be using UPS with international tracking. the US Postal Service doesn't do international tracking unlike almost any other countries post office. Does that make the US a third world country now?

[bmmcwhirt]

That was a pain in the ass. Paypal has no method to print shipping labels without paying shipping. So using pre-paid boxes is like a no-no or something as you cannot export shipping addresses or print plain mailing labels.

Anyway that is done, and tomorrow I will be putting keyboards into boxes and taking them to the post office. I'll also have int shipping cost for those of you outside the US and will invoice you. Those will go out the day after payment is received.

I have not printed the labels so if anyone needs me to make a change I can do that up until about noon EST/EDT tomorrow(12/27).

[Techno Trousers]

Great news! Looking forward to some ssk action in the new year.

[supamesican]

Awesome! I am hyped af! I will probably even put my beloved F AT away for a bit to write some master degree programs on the little ssk

[bmmcwhirt]

All packed up but didn't make it to the post office in time, actually they closed 2min early the f... well anyway they are packed labeled and will be on their way tomorrow(12/28). Those of you with international shipping I will invoice those tonight if I can if not tomorrow(12/28). It's -2F here so the world might end overnight.

These are just the USB deliveries and one ASAP no cable. There are 3 international shipments to go yet.

Because of the Holiday finances a few people did back out so I will have extra USB cables in case any one decides they want to switch to a USB cable now and ps2 cable later.

[Muramasa]

If there happens to be any left, I'd love an SSK with or without a cable.

[pixelpusher]

Got mine today!  Cable is awesome.  The board looks like it’s in good shape.  All switches work.  Right side seems strangely louder like something is outta whack.  Going to open it up later.  Thanks for the New Years present

[supamesican]

Was not expecting it until next week but welcome to the family ssk! So smol... I love it.  Wish ids been home Saturday before 1150pm to play with it
