oh god... the only thing cool on that board are the keys with the additional printings... that ugly led mod destroys most of the value of the ssk...

No, but I'm sure it comes with a little speaker that will play recorded music of someone playing a mandolin.

Wife: You have too many keyboards - get rid of some!

sandyepay: How?

Wife: I don't know, list them on eBay or something.

sandyepay: And if they don't sell, can I keep them.

Wife: I suppose.

sandyepay: Buy it Now * 100 ...

almost certainly not.

IBM quit using them in the middle of 1986

More importantly what do you think the third LED does? Note the embedded numpad isn't accessible with the replaced controller.

The buy it now price it is tempting specially accompanied with the "May god  bless you " at the end of his posting.....  But who Am'I Kidding, I just sold this one ebay and really cant complain:

- NIB Industrial trackpoint = $600
- NIB but not proper packaging Industrial oval logo = $500
- NIB White logo = $600
- NIB Kentucky Wild Cats = $150 (outside ebay)

I knew was a good time to start selling the virgins, I barely see virgins at all, I'm speaking of IBM's lol
