[SOLD] Model M 1391401, $61 shipped (U.S.)

IBM 1391401 Model M Vintage Clicky Keyboard








Includes cable. Missing 2 caps, and the label was applied sloppily, but not a bad deal for a 2nd-gen M in such nice shape, otherwise.

Yeah, great deal. Probably has the heavy back plate, but not the yellow chromate version.

Always good to see that the missing caps are not the hard-to-find ones.

"The company [Taylor Farms] made two (2) million-dollar donations: $1 million to the Congressional Leadership Fund, which supports Republican candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives, and $1 million for MAGA Inc, a super PAC that supports Trump.
The $1 million to MAGA Inc was made on March 25, 2025, just just six days after the FDA announced it was delaying the implementation of its “Food Traceability Rule” by 30 months."

I don't think it's chrome. I think it's either heat treatment or cobalt plating, but chrome seems unlikely to me.

I'm sure what Fo's referring to is this sort of thing:




...vs. this:





Yeah, it's always fun to open a board and see that beautiful lustre.

BTW, I neglected to mention that this listing says:

Keyboards are fully tested and cleaned thoroughly before shipment.

There's no telling if "fully cleaned" means they took off the top and cleaned the barrel plate. (Either one has a 5.5mm thin-walled hex wrench, or one doesn't—it's not one of those iffy things.) But at least key-cleaning wouldn't be necessary.
