Title: Greetings from California
Post by: Raellic on Mon, 27 January 2020, 09:46:30

Hi, I am a Model M enthusiast from Northern California.

My daily driver: IBM square silver logo Model M, circa 1988.

I should have my Frankenstein Model M done soon, which is going to be an Industrial Model M using a factory overrun NIB Industrial case and surplus blue keys.  Looking forward to getting involved on this board.

Almost done!  To do: gray keys to replace the pearl keys that are left; stabilizer inserts for the + and Enter keys on the keypad, and a gray space bar.  Then it will be done!  I'm very excited...nerd level: EXPERT.

Wow, I'm not fan of the Model M aesthetic, but those are both some nice boards you've got. I just recently got the XT variant of those old square badge boards, my first one. I can immediately tell that there's more ... mass.
