None of mine have it. Seems the practice didn't carry across to the UK. I've never seen a dot like that, good spot. (...)
I bet they are quality control marks or something similar. That would be my guess.
Selling.. Ultra Rare, GOLD dot model M, limited quantity, more special than blue/red or black dot..
need moar mandolin xtals
Mine has a love heart. Pretty cool I must say
So are labels with dots more valuable than those without? Or vice versa? LOL

And the ones with seldom seen mandolin-shaped dots are the most valuable of all.Quote from: tp4tissue on Sat, 04 February 2017, 03:50:49Selling.. Ultra Rare, GOLD dot model M, limited quantity, more special than blue/red or black dot..Ooh—and if I give you an extra $500, will you include one of those keycaps with the little monster face carved into it? There isn't nearly enough hysteria in the KB-collecting world. :?D

was it one of the black square metal badge ones?
Quote from: chyros on Tue, 07 February 2017, 05:42:06was it one of the black square metal badge ones?Possibly/probably but I did not want to risk prying it up and risking damage to one or both.
Does it have any other badges? What's the model number?
Woo—red dots could be the next Mandolin Crystal!
I just happened to be frantically searching for my ps2-usb adapter (which is actually in another state, so I never found it)...
I have a model F 122 key with no dot, but the label on it is from 2003, so I guess unicomp couldn't be bothered.

Okay, I know this is last year's thread, so ridicule me if you must—but first, check this out: (Attachment Link) That's right—a Model M with four inspection dots!! I just, er, spotted it (sorry) here on eBay. What was it about this M that it needed to be certified by 2 to 3 times as many people as usual? The mind boggles.Okay, you can go ahead and ridicule me now. (I'm married—I'm used to it.)
Of course, this whole thread's about stuff from the '80s–'90s, as is a large part of the whole forum—so if it's irony you're after...

I was amused by the date though, it probably has nothing to do with the number of marks...More likely that you drew them in to mess with our brains

This is what a proper inspection looks like. Just like an elegant Swiss watch... (Attachment Link)
