Romanian bolt modded Model M
« on: Thu, 16 June 2011, 15:22:16 »
Haven't seen this posted anywhere, so thought I would toss it out there for anyone in the Romania area looking for one of these. It's US ANSI layout, 1391401.

They ship to USA right? $50 shipping?

Just hope the seller ain't a gypsy. Or worse, a cioban.

Kishy, yes, I can confirm it is me indeed. Yet, I can't confirm if that's the board you had. I have so many I'm just not sure :)

Well, I was thinking buying it cheap. Perhaps now, it won't be possible ;)

Where do you find mechanical keyboards in Romania?

I went there 6 months ago and checked around Timisoara and Oradea with no luck.

If a geekhack member will win it, then I'll throw in some colored key caps for him :)

You don't find. At least not Model Ms. They never penetrated the market at the time they were made. You could find some oddities at flea markets, but rarely an IBM.

Back when the Model M's were still made was probably during Ceausescu's time.

"Let them have rubber domes" was his credo, if I'm not mistaken.

It was more like "Let us use our own production of crappy computers".

Thanks for the thumbs up. By the way, I've messed the shipping quotas and just introduced an errata in the last 24 hours with new shipping costs. So, up 'till now, I'm not much of a seller... hehe

Sure, no problem. I will throw in some colored key caps if a geekhacker takes it.
