Post by: jevvix on Tue, 11 August 2015, 00:33:21

7x IBM + a Chicony

Has an odd teal/blue Escape key that I've never seen on an IBM keyboard.

Chicony 5181 Cherry MX blues

IBM XT 1501100 keyboard in box. Not new but in fantastic condition.

Didn't bother picturing the rest of the Model Ms. They're just they typical 1391404.

The systems
(top) IBM PC AT Computer with IBM 5153 CGA monitor. Didn't come with the 84-key AT keyboard but I have a few of them around anyways.
(bottm) IBM PC XT Computer with IBM 5151 monochrome monitor. Uses the 1501100 XT keyboard obviously.

I bought them locally from a guy that "collected" them for a number of years. He had them stored at his grandmothers house and she was moving. Apparently there was a lot more but they had an estate sale and the majority were sold there.

Probably sell of the Chicony and 1391404s to recoup the investment. The machines, no idea yet.
