Desirable 84-key tenkeyless Model M.

Types like new. Two-piece key caps, all are present, none are shiny. Features new springs and hammers under all keys. Excellent inside and out, this is a beauty.

With no rivets to fail, this is better than NIB. You will not find a nicer used SSK.

Includes ps/2 SDL cable. DOB 11-27-91, made in USA.

PM me; the best offer will take it. I don't know what this is worth but I am looking for something in the $175 and up range. Plus actual cost of shipping in the US.

Well, he did say best offer. So that doesn't sound like first-come-first-served to me.

Anybody has a fair shot.

Sold.

My apologies to people who contacted me and I wasn't able to reply; there was a lot of interest.
