:mod:
Here's a great looking early '88  (Jan 25th) 1391401, the heavy model, sitting at $10 + cheap shipping. Someone could possibly set a snipe and grab it for a nice price.

Aside from missing the left arrow key, it looks to be a clean keyboard. Not a bad price either.

You must have run out of space in that garage.

I threw in the towel unless something magical, like a 0131 or 0120 for a good price, comes up. I'm just going to have to resell a bunch of boards at this point anyways, but it was fun shopping for them.

Good eye ripster, I had no idea you could pull off that kind of clean-up with lighting...amazing.

How's the search going, did you get one?

It looks like this '88 went cheaply, considering that it was a properly titled, relatively nice auction (well lit for sure).
