Title: Browsing GumTree and found this, what do you guys thing?
Post by: bigDave on Tue, 03 March 2015, 15:48:22

Found this on Gumtree today: http://www.gumtree.com/p/keyboards-keypads/1980s-ibm-model-m-vintage-mechanical-keyboard-rare/1102880768

It does appear to have a label and the front seem pretty long and an unusual shape, it is brand new and boxed (apparently).

Fujitsu FKB4700 (http://deskthority.net/wiki/Fujitsu_FKB4700) variant, presumably with Fujitsu Peerless switches.

No way you'd want to spend £50 on it — Peerless switches aren't particularly popular and they're not that valuable.
