Title: [eBay] IBM Model M 1390131
Post by: jdcarpe on Fri, 30 January 2015, 08:58:35

<10 hours left in auction. Maybe someone can pick it up for starting bid price.

Starting bid $53.25 plus shipping. Missing the ~ key (and possibly the spring). You can probably do a chopstick fix to it, even if it's missing the spring. Would be a great candidate for a bolt/screw mod, since it has the thicker backplate. I really like these square silver badged '131s. If someone buys it and needs a spring and flipper, I have some spares.

I like the 1390131s best, too.

Has anyone ever gotten one with the F-style bar code label?

I think all 3 of mine have the standard label. I thought I saw a barcode labeled one on eBay recently, but maybe it was a 1390120.
