Title: Buckling Springs keyboards - Model M, Model M SSK (Mini), Model F terminal
Post by: czarek on Thu, 29 December 2011, 07:16:00

End of year sale here. I'm selling my collection of buckling spring keyboards, leaving only those I use for work.

1. IBM Model M Silver Label 1390131, 11 APR 86, ANSI layout

(http://geekhack.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=36141&d=1325170181)
(http://geekhack.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=36139&d=1325170162)

It has been bolt modded by the previous owner. He also replaced few springs (taken from other 1390120 / 1390131 keyboards) so they sound and feel consistent across the board. It has very mechanic sound and feel, is somehow stiffer than newer Model Ms, feels tighter and more solid too.
It is very clean and has no scratches or any discolouration. The barrel assembly has a crack that has been glued but it doesn't affect the feel at all, heavy metal plate and a bit of glue holds it all together very tightly.
Price: 50 Euros. SOLD to cabezakiko

2. IBM Model M Space Saving Black Label 1392934, 05-14-91, ANSI layout

(http://geekhack.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=36143&d=1325170220)
(http://geekhack.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=36142&d=1325170204)

I bought it brand new (old stock) last summer so it is still smells new. It came with few rivets broken so I decided to do a full bolt mod. I was using it with Unicomp springs most of the time so the original springs are all like new (had maybe a week of use in total). It comes in original box with styrofoam.
Price: 180 Euros. SOLD to DalaiLameR

3. IBM Model F Terminal Silver Label 0984888, 28 FEB 86, ISO layout

(http://geekhack.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=36138&d=1325170149)
(http://geekhack.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=36137&d=1325170129)

This is probably the most usable Model F layout today. Works great with Soarer's Teensy based USB adapter which will be included.
It is very clean, has no cracks on plastic and no discolouration only few tears of paint on corners but they're barely visible.
Price: 100 Euros. SOLD to xbb

I have short white PS/2, long white PS/2 or medium black AT cables, you can chose either one whatever is left. All cables are clean and in great condition. Short white PS/2 cable is almost new as it was used for maximum couple hours (it's the one that came with NIB SSK).
Prices are negotiable.
Shipping within Europe is 15 Euros.
Shipping across the ocean is 25 Euros.
If you buy more than one board I can include a set of Unicomp springs and hammers.

Update. Model M Silver Label has been sold to cabezakiko.
So now there is only the Space Saving keyboard left. With its box and the brand new short cable.
I know the price is not small for this keyboard so I'm going to include one of my blue cube adapters with it.

Bump.
Kinda weird. I thought Space Saving Model M will go first and it turned out it's the only one left.
BTW. on a request I can swap the springs to Unicomp ones and include original ones just in case you don't like Unicomps (I actually prefer Unicomp springs).

All those keyboards are awesome. Those Model Ms are icons of IBM keyboards sound and feel, and the Model F is very unique, for it's layout and great condition after 25 years.

Last Model M SSK has been sold to DalaiLameR.
