Title: ibm model m stickers
Post by: uphillcastle on Sun, 25 March 2012, 06:51:34
I have the chance to buy an ibm model m space saver with a blue sticker. Just wondering which stickers are the more valuable/better boards? Does the price vary for like a black sticker than the blue?

Whatever you do don't change the sticker, for anything other than the origional colour, the boards birth certificate will confirm all a buyer needs to know about the board.

Is 1992 a good vintage?

All the Space Saving Keyboards are pretty much the same, except the blue label ones have drainage channels.

Reasons for Decal Change

For personal liking.... YES (look at my M's)
For personal profit... NO NO NO
