Clean Model F XT, don't bid above starting bid
« on: Wed, 15 January 2014, 05:15:00 »
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-IBM-computer-PC-83-keys-keyboard-for-model-5150-XT-etc-/131093923805?pt=US_Vintage_Computing_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1e85ce87dd

This is truly the cleanest F XT I have seen so far.

Due to high starting bid, not a particularly good deal. ($57 shipped) But the cosmetic condition might suggest keyboard has been very well kept.

Fortunately XT's are pretty easy to clean up. This one was a bit pricey without the original box :)

I'm not sure if this was refurbished at some point, but it doesn't appear so. In fact, it looks absolutely brand new (without box). I think I got a collector's quality keyboard here.

The plastic covering is still intact over the case badge, with no deterioration underneath. Hell, it even smells new!
