I've never owned a model M.  But lately I've had the urge to get one.  I put a post on my FB asking if anyone happened to know of one lying around.  It paid off b/c a friend of mine happened to be working in the UK and found an ISO model stored away in an old filing cabinet.  He got permission to bring it back to the states.  1992 model, so it has PS2.  I still don't have it in my possession, but I'm excited to try it out.

I wouldn't mind picking up another, but I have questions about these terminal interfaces.  Can I just pick up a converter and have it still work.  Can anyone elaborate on that process?

Thanks  :thumb:

$50 including shipping is pretty good!  But just a note in case people didn't notice - I think those are all  M 122s, not 101s like in the stock pic.

The link in the OP shows part numbers for them all, I think.

Considering that a set of caps from Unicomp costs about $30 + $6 shipping, the deal is good, but terminals don't always have standard caps.

"Starting in 2011, the deficits again started to shrink. During Obama’s term  the deficit was reduced by $900 Billion  before finally in 2015 the GOP managed to wrangle a “reconciliation” bill out of Obama where he again cut corporate taxes, as well as made permanent some of George W. Bush’s original tax cuts. This is the year everything reversed. Before this, under Clinton, Bush and Obama the deficit in almost every year was gradually decreasing. The balance we had of taxes and the economy was bringing the deficit down, the money coming in was slowly catching up with the money going out until 2015. Trump’s subsequent tax cut has continued the new trend even after the rest of Bush’s cuts have since expired. Obama had an average GDP of 2.3%, with 11.6 million jobs created and unemployment peaking at 10% in 2009, then falling to 4.3% in 2016. If we had continued on that downward deficit track, we would have again reached balance and another surplus in 2017-2018.
