IBM Space Saver Repair
« on: Thu, 17 March 2016, 21:06:47 »
I would love to have my IBM Model M Space Saver repaired.  Does anyone know of a shop that does this?  I'm in the St. Louis MO area, but would be willing to ship it for repair.

My keyboard is an IBM Model M, Part No 1391472, ID No 2018856, Date 18JUN87, Plt No F2.

Can someone please help me?

Phosphorus does great work.

A tiny bit pricey, but your keyboard comes back indistinguishable from a brand new one and 10x as durable after bolt mod.

Although I haven't had anything done by him, I have heard nothing but praise for his work, and the photos are unbelievable as to what he can do.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
