Post by: ander on Wed, 20 July 2016, 19:44:03
If any of you are looking for one of these, this is a good deal (about half price, considering shipping):

Unicomp Model M PS/2 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Unicomp-Model-M-PS-2-/301984900031)


(http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/4KsAAOSwGIRXX3Jg/s-l1600.jpg)


From seller's description: "Got these from a closout sale of an IT shop that was going under.  They appear brand new, unused..."

If those are the PS/2 variety and don't need a converter, the deal is even better.

This makes me even sadder.

Can't afford to spend money on keyboards (or much else) for a while.

Dang, mate, sorry to hear that. I'd be glad to re-mail a board to you out of WA State, USA, if that would ever help... Just PM me.

If you're a true KB fanatic, the time may eventually come when you have to make a difficult choice:

Live in a decent, friendly country with good beer, but where prohibitive shipping costs make it impossible to order vintage KBs online?

Or live in a country where people go around randomly shooting each other, and where an arrogant, mean-spirited, racist egomaniac with dangerously bad hair may be elected president, but where you can ship a 6-lb. KB coast-to-coast for under $20?

Don't sell us short. You can ship an 8+ pound keyboard from Florida to Alaska for under $19.

On the other hand, an inch across the border raises that by $50.

Actually, the flat rate game board box goes to Canada for $54, unless you are adding customs or something.

Would the 122 model fit into a flat rate box?

I don't think there is enough padding room in a flat rate game box. It hasn't enough girth to absorb a possible heavy impact to the side of the box. I got an SSK shipped in one and I could tell that one wrong jab or mash would have ****ed it up. I would use a minimum of 4.5x22x10" boxes like Elite Keyboards and Mechanicalkeyboards.com uses.

Middle of winter at the moment.

Still creepy-crawlies around, in fact the wet weather drives them out from where they are hiding and they come indoors where it's warm(ish) and dry.
