Title: Looks easy enough to fix
Post by: ksd5 on Mon, 17 May 2010, 16:03:33

(http://i.ebayimg.com/14/!BrfeqlgBWk~$(KGrHqEOKjUEuZqmElCLBLz4MRZBYQ~~_12.JPG) (http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-IBM-Clicky-Personal-Computer-Keyboard-Model-M-/320521236425?cmd=ViewItem&pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item4aa08defc9)

This thing is for sale on eBay. The cord has been cut off.

It looks easy enough to just open up the case and solder a new PS/2 cable onto the circuit board.

I would grab it.  I like the sticker on the lock lights on that model.

The image links to the eBay item page. It's sold as "Buy Now".

$25 shipped looks like a fair price, but that seller's rating is pretty iffy.

If I didn't have any model Ms I'd pick this up.
