Sorry guys, I said "hurry"

I didn't realize that they would be gone in 4 minutes!

The 1390131 is the Mac Daddy of Model Ms, in my opinion.

Ha Ha!

Yes, I already have 2 primo 1390131s, although neither was New-In-Box.

I have an immaculate original in completely stock condition, and one totally "tricked out" bolt-modded, white latex blanket, 2010 Unicomp springs, XT key caps, internally padded (but not floss-modded) with beige Orihalcon USB cable.

The only other standard-size Model M I have left is my 1991 beige label 1391401, completely stock, the first Model M I owned and still just as good as any of the others.

Post by: rowdy on Thu, 05 February 2015, 18:55:41: I'd like a NIB Model M one day, perhaps. Of the two I have, one is missing a few keys and needs a bolt mod, the other is complete and in regular use.

I'm saving up for an SSK at the moment, NIB or otherwise, although my budget will almost certainly dictate otherwise.

Do you use any of them very often? Since modding my F-122, mine have been sitting on a shelf in the closet.

Mine are securely packed and gathering dust on a shelf in the basement.
