UNICOMP Model M Classic Buckling Spring keyboard Good Condition!








Looks like it's in real nice shape, just a smudge or two.

$48 w/free U.S. shipping. New ones are now $84 + shipping. Buckling springs rule!

Aaaaaand—it's gone.

Unicomps from this period are some of the clickiest, thockiest KBs ever. So, as I'm sure most of you will agree, it's heartwarming to know that someone out there will soon be clickety-clacking away on this and enjoying true Interactive Typing to its fullest. Also, I've had coffee.

It seems a fair number of people buy these, realize how loud they actually are—or other people realize it for them—and sell them. So you often see lightly used, relatively recent examples online at good discounts.

That's not great for Unicomp, but it is for people like us who know what kind of clickiness is involved, and actually prefer it.

I have things in my refrigerator that are older than this keyboard...

Yes, but the printing's probably better on them.  :?)
