Some minor Model M bits
« on: Sat, 02 June 2012, 15:28:53 »
I'm looking for some in-barrel stabilizers and related keycaps, namely backspace, enter, and left shift. Right shift wouldn't be bad either for matching, I suppose. I don't want to buy a whole board just to pillage it for these specific bits, so let me know if you happen to have these gathering dust and what you'd want for them :D

Still looking, and forgot that a backslash key would be needed as well for the ANSI conversion. One more bump before I go beg Unicomp where those few bits might cost what an entire (terminal) Model M is on ebay :/

Not to try to discourage you, but unless someone has a huge pile of unwanted parts laying around (unlikely), the scarce and/or desirable ones, like what you named, are what you buy entire boards for.

Anybody want to sell me a set of "F" keys or a home cluster for cheap?
