Title: Holy Schnikes! APL Model M 122 (1389194)
Post by: nubbinator on Sun, 20 July 2014, 21:07:57
You see plenty of Model M 122s, but not many with APL caps.  Wonder what it will go for.

APL key sets are $30 at Unicomp. Of course. Those are 101-key ANSI, so if you want a 122 key APL keyboard in its original ISO layout, this may be the only way.

I think is $35+7 shipped, but still not a bad deal..

Notice that the F&J keys have those little "bars" on them. I at first thought this wasnt genuine IBM APL, but rather a unicomp addition, but the PF8 APL keycap seems to indicate otherwise.

122-key IBM boards usually don't have bars on F&J
