Title: IBM SSK Box (Just the box)
Post by: DanGWanG on Wed, 09 November 2011, 13:20:20: I have a bit of an OCD when it comes to storing all these keyboards that I now have...

I purchased a SSK recently, and it's a little too much for my fingers to handle so I want to store it away. But I had no box that would fit it appropriately, so I'm just curious to see if there's anyone out there with an extra box in decent condition.

Thanks in advance.

Would you happen to have the dimensions of the box? And perhaps a picture of the inside? lol...

They will deliver packages of 10 to your doorstep, free of charge. They can be assembled inside-out, but are still marked "Priority Mail" on the brown side, too.

They come preassembled. You would have to rip the seam apart and reglue or retape them shut.

One of the IBMs has a box with it, not an SSK, but maybe better for your OCD if he's willing to sell separately.

Mine came flat and I had to expand the sides by pushing, and seal the ends by folding tabs. The top tab had an adhesive strip.

If they don't come flat, they will take up a lot more room.

I did have to slice one edge apart to turn them inside out.

Edit: Wait, you're right, they are packs of 25. Woo-hoo, I have enough to last for months or years!
