Title: Refurbished Model M 1391401s, $45.99 shipped
Post by: ander on Fri, 20 November 2015, 18:52:18: Get 'em while they're hot:

IBM 1391401 (http://www.itpartsdepot.com/products/ibm-1391401.html), refurbished, $31.99 + 14.00 U.S. ground shipping

[attach=1]

They even have a 30-day warranty (though most of you guys could fix anything that went wrong, of course).

IT Parts Depot, in Minnesota, are really good people. I've ordered parts from them and they've been very helpful. I don't how many of these boards they actually have, but they're "in stock".

Unless you're Snowdog993, then you ought to have a billion.

Post by: fohat.digs on Sat, 21 November 2015, 07:51:02: This is an excellent deal for anybody who has been thinking about getting one.

A full set of M keycaps costs about $35 shipped from Unicomp and a cable usually goes for $15.

Actually, yes Fohat! It is a very good deal! It makes me wonder just how many they actually have too! It would be a great deal for anyone that is interested in getting into BS keyboards!

Moi?
World's #1 Model M fan.

And yep, any way you look at it this is a good deal. I bought my first Model M from a local guy on Craigslist and paid $40. I was ecstatic to get one intact (albeit dirty) for that price.

I was about to get eclipse's shells and cables and put my own inserts into them, but I'd be past this price point. Great find!

Post by: cryptokey on Tue, 24 November 2015, 12:40:19: Still no response after emailing them. I tried estimating shipping for it to Ontario and it said those boards don't ship there. :( Does anybody know if they ship anywhere else in Canada?
