Read Me:
I take best offer on all listed prices. Shipping is free within the CONUS, international shipping is available at cost. Buyer will cover PayPal fees (3%). Please carefully examine available pictures before asking questions. Any functional problems are listed, items sold as is with no returns. Local pickup in Southern California is preferred.

1. $130 - 1992 1397681 - Blue label, 1 piece keycaps, (at least) 15 broken rivets, missing one of the rubber disks
*This guy pings quite a lot, probably due to the significant loss of rivets. I have not personally cleaned it, but it's not particularly dirty either.

Well damn, that was mighty quick. Maybe these 1391472s should hit eBay instead! (j/k j/k :lol:)

FYI, I didn't open up the 1391472s, but assume they have broken rivets as well (due to age).

3 and 4 is not the same as ripster's Bernie Madoff special edition (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?10249-IBM-Model-M-Space-Saving-Club&p=190779&viewfull=1#post190779), but close.

I may actually have to sell my NIB IBM SSK, now that I bought one of the these and an 87U last week...

Don't do it.  You will regret selling the NIB SSK one of these days. Just eat less the next few weeks:smile:

Big difference between High Finance and Accounting.  On Wall Street you don't have to pay taxes.

If Bernie had this accounting keyboard, he could have just pressed the "Reset" key or the "Clear" key, and he would still be on his yacht today!  ;)

LMAO

Yeah, it did remind me of ripster's investment banking special, but the Reset, NEW LINE, and EOF buttons made me think of terminal emulation.

Who has my new keyboard's evil twin?  Maybe some day they can have a reunion when they grow up!

Any chance you'd wanna trade the first one for a set of Cherry RGB dye subs?
