Title: GE Unicomp Model M
Post by: nubbinator on Fri, 24 October 2014, 01:23:19

For those who just like to get the more unusual editions of boards, here's a GE edition Model M.  It's Unicomp, but why should you care for something unusual.

Thank goodness I got to it first.

Now I can bolt mod it before sending it to you. I really like these medical keycaps for the GE marquette stuff, so I'll have to take a shot of them both together.

Brilliant that you're spreading the Model-M love all over the place.  They need to be cherished and supported because USA made keyboards are not that common anymore and this one deserves to be used daily by this person.

This is buckling spring one, not rubber dome, right?

Wait, did you really grab the board for me dv or did you want those caps? I know you like the caps. If you did grab it for me, I sincerely appreciate it. But I wouldn't begrudge you if you wanted to keep it.

Good reflexes if you did!

I'm a sucker for bit paired number row, but this is intended for CPTBadass after some judicial modification. Pictures will be forthcoming of course.

Woah this looks like it came from some GE medical imaging equipment. Since then their keyboards have gone down hill... chiclet below membrane *shudders*

EDIT: confirmed:

Hooray! Thanks so much dorkvader! Only thing I'm sad about is I won't be able to open it up nib. But that's not important
