Title: 6 board haul for $30. Model M, 2x Model M2, Acer and more

Unfortunately, only the Model M appears to work. I'm unable to test the Jr. I'm taking the cord from the M2 that doesn't work (scroll and pause break lights are stuck on, seems I need to replace capacitors?) and putting it in the one with a cut cord. Hopefully it works, will probably keep it for myself if it does.

Probably going to go back for this one either way, but I'm wondering if it's mechanical: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Leading-Edge-AT-Keyboard-Model-BTC-5369-Made-in-Korea-ships-worldwide-/191096494873?pt=US_Vintage_Computing_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2c7e3d1b19

Also, I can't find much info on this one. Is it worth anything? http://showcase.netins.net/web/tkz/BTC-5060/BTC-5060.htm

EDIT: Turns out both M2 are busted. Shame.

Figures. Nice score.

Actually, my PC is just retarded. Just tested them on my dad's PC and they all work (apart from that m2 of course). SCORE!
