Title: IBM Space Saver Repair
Post by: Skitso999 on Thu, 17 March 2016, 21:06:47

I would love to have my IBM Model M Space Saver repaired.  Does anyone know of a shop that does this?  I'm in the St. Louis MO area, but would be willing to ship it for repair.

My keyboard is an IBM Model M, Part No 1391472, ID No 2018856, Date 18JUN87, Plt No F2.

Can someone please help me?

Yes, I highly recommend Phosphorglow. 
Here are several examples:

Phosphorus does great work.

A tiny bit pricey, but your keyboard comes back indistinguishable from a brand new one and 10x as durable after bolt mod.

+1 Phosphorglow

Although I haven't had anything done by him, I have heard nothing but praise for his work, and the photos are unbelievable as to what he can do.
