This is an interest check for replacement badges for Model M keyboards with the pill shaped badges.
The badges would be as follows:
- Material: 0.020" Aluminum milled to Pill shape (25mm x 18mm)
- IBM Logo: Laser etched and filled with Black
- Backing: 3M 468 Self Adhesive backing
They would be $5 each plus shipping.
Register you interest with this form (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/10uabfvOId7c84tn8A8ApZLV_fFLdie0BKlxDz4-4yBc/viewform?usp=send_form)
Here is the vector image I created for the badge:

A few variations you might want to consider:
- Laser etched without the black filled in
- SSK-size badge
-
Definitely interested. Form filled.

Un-filled makes sense and won't change cost, I'll add it.
I don't have an SSK. Could you (or someone with an SSK) provide dimensions?
-
With a tape measure I get 27/32" x 18/32" (the indented area). Someone else may want to check that on theirs.
-
OMFG yes!
Totally do SSK!
Interest registered.
-
Interested for both!
-
Form updated to include unfilled and SSK options.
@Mashby, PwnNarwhal, fanpeople - could you resubmit your selections using the new form? Thanks!

On this, like a Fat Kid on Cake 8) .
Would like to upgrade some old IBMers into hard-core aluminum badges :thumb: .

I am in the #WalletHack mentality right now... I don't have any BS boards yet, but I don't want to miss these

Updated and upped the qty! This better happen.
-
All we need now is someone willing to make an all Aluminum SSK Case, because the stupid prices on current SSK's, may include the possibility of someone actually making a stand alone case instead.

Filled in with ibm blue would be nice.

The best thing about unfilled, you can apply different colours at you lesure pretty sure u would be able to use some form of paint dab in there and wipe the excess like when u apply colour to an engraved plauqe
Feel free to correct me if i am wrong? I may be delusional i dont know

That's what I had in mind when i suggested it. Also think it could be possible to color anodize it cleanly without it prefilled.

Very interested, filled out the form
-
interested here too, filled out form
-
Form filled for some of each, although I need to go count boards and cases so my actual quantity may change slightly.
Two questions:
1) Did you consider etching away the background to create a silver-on-black logo?
2) If we ever When we get the GH-122 made, how many would be needed to make sense for a custom GH logo?
Thanks for doing this!

1) Silver on black could be an option. Black on silver is more in keeping with the standard Model M and Model F badges. Trying to keep permutations low for this round. Could be an option in the future.
2) $5 each at quantity of 100. Cheaper for more, of course
-
Noice. In for 2 each
-
Would the unfilled laser etching be shiny? That's what I'm picturing and it sounds cool.
Also, here are some more precise SSK badge measurements:
[attach=1] [attach=2]
So that's 15mm x 21.6mm for the SSK.

No, the etched portion would be dull.
Thanks for the dimensions on the SSK!!
-
Filled out the form. I would be especially interested in black badges with silver text!
-
Interested in ssk ones
-
Sent another form to update my interest to 2 of each for SSK.
-
Filled out the form a while ago, but would order more if that helps making this happen.
Short version: Bump!
-
Interested in a couple SSK badges! :thumb:
-
1x SSK and 1x black and silver, if this is still alive.
-
form filled. :thumb:
-
Made the request via your form, for 4 of each IBM labels (Black filled - Full sized and SSKs).
This would be extremely rare hence if you are a real IBM lover, you should be in this :thumb: .
-
No longer interested, so if I actually have an interest for these I would like to withdraw my interest.

No problem

What ever happened to this?
(nec-nec-nec-necroooopoostttttt :llama:)
-
It's dead, this horse, but I loved it so...
-
Just to join in the necrophilia, I ended up having some etched out of black/aluminum acrylic.
[attach=1]
Acrylic silver-on-black badges for the GH-122.2016.
Those were sized for the Unicomp PC-122 case, but they'd be easy enough to make in other sizes. I wanted the legend in raised silver, but it could just as easily be in etched black. And of course with (a fair use of) the "IBM" logo.

Not my auction but, I did buy the 1st two as I have been waiting for months for these to come back available. They are finally here and I can get started modding my wife's new Model M.
