Model M "slider/guide" (BLUE for numpad_+)
« on: Thu, 17 February 2011, 15:42:59 »
EDIT: I am looking for one of the BLUE "slide" or "guide" inserts for a IBM Model M. It is the piece that go in the second hole for numpad "+" or "enter" key.

Here is a picture of what I am looking for.

You need two different parts. A stabilizer barrel for a vertical key (eg numpad plus and Enter) is a different shape than a stabilizer barrel for a horizontal key like your right shift key.

You need one of each.

If I had extras right now I'd volunteer them.

Thanks, I didn't realize they were different. So I need one of each then.

I definitely have one of the white ones. I think I might have a blue one kicking around as well. I'd have to check, though. I definitely have the older style metal stabilizers for those keys, but yours might be too new to use those.

The white one is yours though, if you want.

Edit: looked at your mod post...yours is too new for the metal stabilizers. And I can't find a spare blue one.

send me a pm how to get these out of a donor board without disassembling the whole thing and you can have them from me. I have a few 1994 13901403 boards here for parts.

I just edited my original post. It ends up I only need one of the blue ones.

The other white one I thought I needed is actually for the empty slot under the spacebar, which doesn't have an alignment slider.

To get them out, all you have to do is get a pair of tweezers and grab them to pull them out.

I've found a blue one, so if you prefer to get it from the US, I have both for you.

Though, I'm only assuming the one from an ISO enter key is the same as from a numpad enter key.
