Want Realforce 86U. Have a bolt mod SSK to trade!
« on: Sun, 10 July 2011, 07:51:38 »
I have a nice clean bolt modded Model M SSK, aka Model M mini, with new (in 2010) replacement springs. I have used it for a few weeks since bolt modding it. Trading because I decided that buckling spring is not for me anymore.

Bolt modded SSKs are better than NIB! There are no rivets to break-- the springs are new, crisp and wonderful-- and you could service anything inside at anytime in the future with a few simple tools.

Seeking a Realforce 86U with variable weight keys, in clean not-heavily-used condition. Would prefer white but charcoal would be OK too.

Thanks!

This is a longer list of things I'd trade for a Realforce 86U or 86UB:

- CST model 1550 optomechanical trackball. Modded to move the cord to the right-hand side of the unit. This mod could be easily reversed. This would be a good way to find out if you like the shape of CSTs. Was about $70 new.

- Full size bolt modded IBM Model M in very good condition.

- Northgate Omnikey 101 in nice clean complete condition, no signs of heavy use, in original box with original packing materials, warranty card and manual. Sadly it doesn't work! :(

- Cash

- IBM Model M SSK, bolt modded, new springs, better than NIB for actual daily use. No bad rivets guaranteed.

Make an offer! :biggrin:
