Title: WTB: dirt cheap (preferably as close to free as possible)Terminal (RJ45) Model M
Post by: dante on Fri, 25 October 2013, 14:07:43
Just for LOL's I want to acquire an unloved dirty ass terminal (rj45) model-m to bring back from the grave.

steps:
1) acquire terminal m - as cheap as possible.  (maybe free?)
2) figure out how to build a soarer box to verify it works
3) if nasty ugly dirty, clean it all up and make it look brand new
4) if it's a 122 - figure out how to ANSI it.
5) figure out how to bolt mod it and do it
6) post pics from the whole affair

What you got mang?

I will sell you one for $5 + shipping. It is a 1994 Lexmark, if I remember, and I harvested caps and inserts but all the stems are there.

It works properly and looks to be pretty fresh, so the springs should be good. Good spare parts was what I was keeping it for.

Remember, these do not have LEDs.

That board isn't crappy enough for my liking.

The idea is to rescue Terminal M's with a high risk of ending up in a landfill.
