Title: IBM SSK bolt-modded 1987 1-piece caps $250 shipped
Post by: fohat.digs on Thu, 30 July 2015, 16:26:51
Excellent condition SSK old-style with 1-piece caps (about 2-3 were missing and have been replaced with 2-pc) which are almost like new with no shiny spots, not even on the space bar.

Fully tested, thoroughly cleaned inside and out, and bolt-modded (by me) with nuts and washers.

There is a faint residue of writing on the back which I cleaned 98% and I suspect you could get the rest with slightly more aggressive cleaning, but it might leave a shiny spot, which is why I stopped.

$250 shipped domestic US. I would really prefer not to ship international, but it would be $60 additional.

Weekend bump. This is a very nice specimen, much better than what is currently on ebay for a few $20 bills less.

I don't quite know what you are talking about.

Looking at ebay just now I don't see anything less than $275

I'm 100% positive that, if I had a BS BB v2, I'd be unable to resist the urge to buy this buckling beauty.

People be mad to pass up on this!

I have two already, and international postage also prevents me from buying it, but I am tempted.

Yep.  I have a Unicomp 103 in the mail.  Still would like to get a bolt modded 1390120 or other Silver label someday.
