[eBay] IBM Model M 1390131
« on: Fri, 30 January 2015, 08:58:35 »

<10 hours left in auction. Maybe someone can pick it up for starting bid price.

Starting bid $53.25 plus shipping. Missing the ~ key (and possibly the spring). You can probably do a chopstick fix to it, even if it's missing the spring. Would be a great candidate for a bolt/screw mod, since it has the thicker backplate. I really like these square silver badged '131s. If someone buys it and needs a spring and flipper, I have some spares.

I like the 1390131s best, too.

Has anyone ever gotten one with the F-style bar code label?
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

I think all 3 of mine have the standard label. I thought I saw a barcode labeled one on eBay recently, but maybe it was a 1390120.
