Title: IBM model M SSK 1397681 parts
Post by: Quinmanthra on Tue, 06 June 2017, 04:48:42
Hey there I recently joined and also recently came into the possession of some old model Ms from a family friend who used to be work at software arts. One of the Model M boards I have  I've been trying to find a replacement part for being one of the IBM SSK 1397681 stand feet. I can't seem to find any place that has them. I've tried clickykeyboards and am waiting for an email from unicomp but was just wondering if anyone has had luck elsewhere with procuring this part.

Haven't personally purchased this, but I believe some people here have gotten parts from Shapeways.

If you don't go with the shapeways option and come across an entire bottom case,  please let me know! I'm on the hunt as well

checked that site they dont seem to have the parts in stock and I also emailed them, but beyond that I finally got the shapeways part it does the job but its nowhere near the color feel and quality of the original foot for an 8 dollar printed part I know thats to be expected with it being a 3d printed part but I didnt it to be this horrible of a departure I might just sell this ssk at a reduced cost compared to the other I had and use the M13 which the individual I bought it fromon ebay looks like he used the same exact shapeways feet to replace the lost m13 black feet kind of a cruddy experience all around.
