Title: WTT: My Model M (or other vintage KBs) for Tenkeyless MX Blue/Brown
Post by: skriefal on Fri, 17 August 2012, 20:31:23

I'm looking for a tenkeyless board with Cherry MX Blue or Brown keyswitches.  Filco, KBC, CM, etc.  I do need dedicated function keys -- so the extra small boards (e.g. Poker 40%) are not an option -- unless you happen to have an HHKB-clone with MX Blue/Brown switches :D .

My keyboard fetish has been in remission for a few years, but I do have quite a collection of boards from which you could select a trade option:

• IBM Model M 1390120 - Build date 10JUNE86 - This is the early version with no LEDs - GREAT shape
• IBM Model M 1391401 - Build date 21OCT89
• IBM Model M 1391401 - Build date 13JAN90
• IBM Model M 1391401 - Build date 01-22-91
• Silicon Graphics AT101
• Northgate Omnikey 102 - Bought from Northgate Keyboard Repair, IIRC - in great shape
• NEC APC-H412 (blue NEC oval switches)
• HHKB Lite
• ABS M1
• Wang 724 (Pink Alps switches)
• Zenith data systems keyboard (XT layout, 84 keys) (Green Alps switches)

Photos are available on request for any of these.  They all worked well when last used, and of course will be fully re-tested before closing the deal.  All are in very nice condition except for the Wang and Zenith which are in decent, well-used condition.

I'm in Utah, USA, and would like to keep the trade within the US to keep shipping costs under control.

If you're interested in any of these please let me know!

The HHKB Lite is the less expensive, rubber dome version of the HHKB Pro.  So no Topre switches.

I also have a Model M Space Saver and an M13 (with Trackpoint).  Both are currently listed on a certain evil auction site, but could be made available as trade options here if they don't sell "over there" first.
