Only if they are in absolute PRISTINE condition, but both certainly are not. Hence I doubt they'll reach that amount BUT if both were SSK's then that could easily reach the 1K amount.

Post by: berserkfan on Wed, 14 August 2013, 11:51:48: more than $200 now. Sigh.

Can the winner kindly tell us more about the Industrial Model M? I'm thinking of making my own - by spray-painting a normal Model M gray in color.

I don't know about you guys, but to me the only cool thing is the gray color. Unless the Industrial is built in some remarkable manner or has... xxxxyz-in crystals...

Post by: Techno Trousers on Wed, 14 August 2013, 12:40:29: The only DIFFERENCE is the gray/green case color. And the model number, of course. I'm not obsessed enough to try it, but I think dying the case would look cool.

Post by: esoomenona on Wed, 14 August 2013, 12:43:30: I don't think dying the case would match the sex appeal of an Industrial Model M.

Post by: Techno Trousers on Wed, 14 August 2013, 12:55:04: No, of course it's not the same. But the fact is that the industrial boards are different cosmetically only.
