IBM Model M SSK - Bolt Modded preferred
« on: Tue, 25 October 2011, 00:15:04 »
As the title says, I'm looking for a Model M Space Saving Keyboard in good/great condition and, if possible, bolt modded (ala jpc... before I get suggestions, I know he's got an SSK for sale). New springs would be nice.

The SSK will need to be shipped to Southeast Asia. But there is an option of shipping to a US address and I'll use a freight forwarding service to get the SSK to me.

I can pay by PayPal, cheque, wire transfer, etc. I prefer to use PayPal, and I'll absorb the fee.

The price I'm willing to pay depends on the condition and quality of the SSK.

If I really have to, I'll do the bolt modding myself.

So... why not JPC's?
Risen from the dead for a model F.

Wyse buy colors were GSY for the dark grey, GBA for the light grey, and BBI for the fonts.

JPC appears to only be shipping to CONUS currently.  I suspect if no one picks it up from him soon, he'll start offering international shipping.

Spot on there. I really like the one jpc's selling. IF he's willing to sell to folks outside CONUS, I'm first in line!

It looks like a terrific deal, especially with the price drop. You guys would know better than me.

I have one that would need to be bolt modded because one of the spacebar clips broke off. So a new barrel is needed. IMO, it's in fair/good condition. I would be willing to ship to the freight forwarding service and would need the paypal sent as a gift. If you're interested PM me.

@Tennobanzai - Thanks but I'll pass on that. I'm looking for an SSK in good or very good condition (or better). Of course, having it properly bolt modded will be a bonus.
