It's from the IBM Personal Typing System boards (1394618 101-key and 1392464 84-key with the DisplayWrite layout... also the WfW2 layout).

Fairly certain that was listed somewhere her as another "great find".

Seems like no-one bought it last time, so it was relisted :))

it said so in the listing, but it is a great help to have included the model numbers here. Thanks for looking them up.

I really want to get a 1394618 now.

Post by: 0100010 on Mon, 02 June 2014, 10:53:48: There is an SSK up now with the complete WP keyset for the low low price of $750. So if you figure $500 for the Exit / Exc keycap alone, thats only $250 for the rest of the board.....

It's the SSK for the IBM Personal Typing System with keycaps designed for the subset of DisplayWrite used by that system.
