Model M barrel missing
« on: Tue, 12 October 2010, 21:12:22 »
Hey guys,

My Model M is missing a white insert that goes into a barrel underneath the right Enter key. It's really bothering me when I hit it. Anyone know where to find one/anyone want to sell me one?

Barring somebody giving one to you, you could call Unicomp.  I'm sure they would hook you up on the cheap.

Hope the barrel fits & works.

You're welcome. It's just an item from the heap o' parts. The heap began as three junky Model Ms from which I've already stolen all the barrel plates, one membrane, and two controllers. And many of the springs and hammers...

What's left is a hodgepodge. Junk to me. For sale at cost of shipping.
