Title: IBM Model M: 27 Feb '86 (1390120), listing ends sunday 30th of August
Post by: Bucake on Fri, 28 August 2015, 11:48:36
sorry if this is not thread-worthy, but i bumped into it and thought it was quite cool to see one so old, while still in such good shape.
bid is at $41 right now:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-IBM-Model-M-Keyboard-PS-2-1390120-27FEB86-WORKS-W-AT-5-pin-cord-/262017162450?hash=item3d01709cd2#shpCntId
this part number has no lock lights, as you can see on wikipedia.

"Up for sale is a nice vintage IBM model M keyboard with the older AT 5 pin PS/2 cord. The keyboard has been tested and is in working order and all of the keys have a consistent feel. The keyboard is in need a nice cleaning as it has been in storage for some time. The keyboard shown is the unit you are bidding on. I have several older IBM keyboards that are in varying degree of condition and will be listing them as time goes on. Any questions, please ask."

i'm thinking of placing a bid myself, but with the added international shipping ($60), and the customs tax on top of that.. it's a tough one :)
anyway; i felt i should post it here because beauties like this belong in the hands of people who will love it and take care of it! :D
