Neat. That's a Model M in the Spanish ISO layout.
-
what you mean ISO layout? no detachable cable either
-
Did you happen to get this new from Unicomp? Recently they had a sale of NOS Latin American Model Ms from the 90s.
-
Im looking to buy it and wanted to know if it worth it but the cable non detachable?

Are you in the US, and what is the selling price?
That is a rather shabby Model M, I would recommend a new Unicomp if you could get one for anywhere near the same price. It will cost many dollars to replace the key caps.
In the US that is a <$60 keyboard, shipped.
Elsewhere in the world, if Model Ms are harder to find (and note that outbound shipping from the US is some of the highest in the world), it might be worth considerably more.
PS - it can be used quite easily without the replacement key caps

yes that about the price around $60 im in Buenos Aires Argentina,i already had a model m (spanish layout made in mexico by IBM 1993)and i like it so much what worries me are not so much the key caps(a guy sold them here for 3 for $35
what worries me a bit its the matter that its made by lexmark(i dont know about that)and that the cable its fixed and non detachable check for the pic im adding on the original post

This is a superior keyboard at double the price, if you can afford it.

Wich one the one on my post?
-
AG36 posted a link to a new Unicomp. My guess is that postage from Lexington, Kentucky, is $50-$70, and makes the new Unicomp (with native USB and warranty) well over twice the price of the older Lexmark in South America.
-
Oh ok.yes,what i wonder its the one that i posted its a good deal for $50 are the lexmarks inferior in some way than the ones made by IBM?
-
That's actually pre-Unicomp NOS Lexmark(I brought one) :), thinner backplate, lightly wrapped case and worn mold texture, slightly misaligned dyesub. Acceptable but far from ideal. As with model M, the earlier the better and the one with metal badge are the best.
-
they use the same cable?
-
If is detachable, yes.
-
If is detachable, yes.
