This bottom panel is missing 1 keyboard stand
The cable is less 'coiled'
Scroll Lock key is non standard, probably from the full sized keyboard
Side has something carved into it or some sort
Most keycaps are one piece. I did not count but there is about, or less than 10 keys that are 2 piece keycaps
Black 'Alt' keys

Keyboard 2

Similar to the Keyboard 1, something is carved onto the side of the top case.
2 keycaps from this keyboard are 2 piece, the 'F' and 'J' key. Incidentally the keyboard 1 also has 2 piece keycaps for these, so no swap is possible.
Green 'Alt' keys

Blemishes on the front case for both keyboards are highlighted in my imgur gallery

Price Drop to $170 OBO.

And yeah $200 is a rather insane price it seems

I guess people who pay up to 500$ for a SSK are primarily interested from a collectors perspective. So carvings would make them less desirable.
Still a good deal for someone who just wants a SSK, so good luck with the sale.

I bought a SSK from kaiserreich about a month ago and had one of the best experiences ever with a seller.  I made a post about it in the member ratings forum.  For anyone looking for a SSK and find one of these acceptable, I wholeheartedly recommend  kaiserreich and wouldn't hesitate at all in dealing with him.  For everyone who always complain about how high the SSKs sell for on eBay, this seems like your perfect chance.

BUMP
This thing is harder to sell than expected, maybe due to my location

Need more info on condition - are they both in perfect working order? Any loose rivets?

Have either been bolt-modded and/or are they in need of one?

Title: 2x IBM Space Saving Keyboard 1391472
Post by: kaiserreich on Sat, 04 June 2011, 11:13:11

Working Condition:
Every key registers
They Click - clack , buckle, etc. like how a Model M should

Rivets:
Any rivets that are loose or have fallen out have been removed. I can't judge whether they need a bolt mod or not but I'll try my best to describe the condition of the keyboards

-Keyboard 1
As evident from the picture, the bottom row is missing rivets. So they feel more pingier than the rest of the keyboard, but every key still Click and Clack, albeit with a higher pitched ping.

-Keyboard 2
This one sounded less pingy, as evident from less broken rivets on the keyboard
