Title: Keyboards in Australia - LOTS!!!
Post by: trievalot on Mon, 11 January 2010, 05:02:41

Hi All

As a newbie here, im looking to extend my collection beyond my 3 Model Ms and soon to be Model F.

http://www.a1usedcomputers.com.au/shop/prodList.asp?idCategory=8

Are any of these of suitable "value" to acquire? :) Notice there are lots of Cherrys on there (or for that matter any folks overseas would like me to get and send on - not sure if these guys will post OS!)

Cheers

At $10 for a Model F AT you should not even consider to worry about the conditions but buy all of them, now.

I would run, not walk, to buy the 1397000 and/or the 1398224 myself.

Browsing through that site makes me feel old. I remember paying about £100/MB for those...

Better to check if those AT Fs are really 83 keys as described before you pay.

It's a miscount obviously, but the fact that it claims the logo says Personal Computer AT is a giveaway. There were no keyboards than the AT Model F that had such a logo.

Besides, at $10, can you really go wrong? =P

I know that. But they also listed XTs you've quoted as 83keys and as Personal Computer AT leaving Sub Model column blank.
 
I meant just for safety reason.

Want 3270 terminal board p/n 1397000 if they were in same price range.
