$50 Broken IBM SSK Space Saving Saver Keyboard - AS IS
« on: Mon, 11 June 2012, 14:21:15 »
EDIT - Sale pending

I have a broken IBM Model M Space Saving Saver keyboard for $50 shipped CONUS

AS IS no guarantees. I bought it broken; it's never worked for me. Someone who likes to fix Model M boards should take it.

When I first got it The following keys didn't work zxcvbn, Spacebar, L CTRL, both ALTs. Today I'm noticing the Backspace seems to be stiffer than it should be.

Did I mention AS IS, no guarantees?

EDIT - $50 is with no SDL cable. You want a cable, then it's $60 Shipped CONUS.

hey dude got your PM, do you by any chance know whats the problem with the board? broken rivets maeby, membrane gone bad cause of spillage?  I know things are fixable cause I believe Unicomp sells the membrane, switches, plastic barrel plate etc etc etc even for the SSK. Have you opened the board to look inside of it and maeby you can notice whats the problem with it.

Just sent a PM if it's still available, might be a good board for parts or another small project.
