I was listing my trusty Model M on eBay, and someone asked me if I knew anything about the parts number of the board. Come to think of it, I've never looked it up. Lo and behold there is nothing I can find about it. It's a Silver Label Model M. Notice on the badge it has a "T" on it. The parts number is 1391240.
I was wondering if anyone had any information on this specific keyboard. :D
Here's a link with pictures: mod note: this is not the classifieds. Links to promote the sale of an item are not allowed in this section.

The 2 common Ms with square metal badge on the right are 1390120 (no LEDs) and 1390131 (with LEDs, my personal favorite M!).
The colored keys were surely ordered from Unicomp, I have have bought similar ones. The RGB set is very sharp, although at $12 + shipping, I think, the price is just a bit steep.

If it works as well as it looks, 75$ is a great deal.

OP's selling it haha
That's an interesting label although the fit of the silver label doesn't seem to fit as well with the case indent as they usually do.
But then again, the unique model number thickens the plot.

Does it have a speaker behind the normally-empty speaker grille? If so, it's probably an RS/6000 keyboard, which could also explain the oddball part number. I know I once found a gray label board with an unusual part number, and when I opened the thing up to clean it, there was a speaker installed.
