Does someone want to share a bid?

I'd be down if I didn't expect it to blow up to like $400+ haha D:

[lcs]

Yeah, it's going that way

[SpAmRaY]

This should be interesting to watch.

[berserkfan]

Watched for the sake of seeing if it breaks 1k. Ha!

Only if they are in absolute PRISTINE condition, but both certainly are not.  Hence I doubt they'll reach that amount BUT if both were SSK's then that could easily reach the 1K amount.

more than $200 now. Sigh.

Can the winner kindly tell us more about the Industrial Model M? I'm thinking of making my own - by spray-painting a normal Model M gray in color.

I don't know about you guys, but to me the only cool thing is the gray color. Unless the Industrial is built in some remarkable manner or has... xxxxyz-in crystals...

The only DIFFERENCE is the gray/green case color. And the model number, of course. I'm not obsessed enough to try it, but I think dying the case would look cool.

[esoomenona]

I don't think dying the case would match the sex appeal of an Industrial Model M.

[Techno Trousers]

No, of course it's not the same. But the fact is that the industrial boards are different cosmetically only.

The black badges are hot, but I like the silver badges on the 120/131s better.
