Title: 3 Model F AT's
Post by: didjamatic on Sat, 30 October 2010, 09:32:36: 3 from this guy. Titles say clean but they're quite dirty. Fortunately this is one keyboard that could be brought back to life from about any state so a good cleaning would have good results.

The guy says he doesn't know much about it, then says he has "been a collector of computers and other electronic equipment for around 30 years" and "accumulated around 350 old computers" and even posts a link to clickykeyboards.

It's already happening with PS/2 keyboards too I've noticed.

Not surprised; I haven't owned a computer with a PS/2 port in years.

The keyboard looks fine and even came with one of those old-style IBM DIN5 to DIN6 adapter, though the picture didn't show one. Packaging leaves a bit to be desired but not the worst I've seen. I left him a very positive review.
