IBM Model M Question (what do these number mean?)
« on: Mon, 23 January 2012, 20:18:27 »
So I just finished completely tearing down and cleaning my model M, and I'm putting it back together, and I realized that the keys all have different numbers on them. (G 13 and J 23 for example)

Not the keycaps, but the keys underneath.

Does anyone know what the significance of these are?

You mean the "key stems" ?

I checked some of mine and they are all unmarked.

I have often wondered about the bizarre random colors, however .....
