Title: [Ebay UK]Two UK Model Ms
Post by: IBI on Tue, 30 June 2009, 09:27:49

Number 1 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/IBM-Model-M-Clicky-Keyboard-UK-Layout-1391406_W0QQitemZ180374735315QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Computing_ComputerComponents_KeyboardsMice?hash=item29ff2c09d3&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A10%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A6%7C294%3A50) - 1989, white label, missing F2 key cap and specified as 1391406 so definitely a buckling spring model.

Number 2 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/IBM-Model-M-Keyboard-UK-layout-best-keyboard-ever_W0QQitemZ330341006634QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Computing_ComputerComponents_KeyboardsMice?hash=item4ce9dbbd2a&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A10%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A3%7C294%3A50) - 1991 white label, has all keys, buckling springs are mentioned in the description but no model number is given.

It has been called white and black label, but silver label? That's reserved for the aluminum square ones.

Yeah sorry, given the silver text I find it do occasionally call that one silver label.

There's another white label one here (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1391406-GENUINE-IBM-CLICKY-KEYBOARD-EXCELLENT_W0QQitemZ400059459229QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Computing_ComputerComponents_KeyboardsMice?hash=item5d2566e69d&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A10%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A3%7C294%3A50) with a £50 BIN price.

Apparently model Ms don't go well with the summer.

I dont think IBM made rubber dome Model Ms before the Lexmark takeover, so I'd be pretty sure the second one is a 1391406.
