1986 Model M 1390131 $20 AUC
« on: Wed, 23 May 2012, 16:24:01 »
I know somebody that might like this. (basemk1979) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-IBM-Computer-Clicky-Keyboard-1390131Model-M-S1833-/180889739765?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item2a1dde61f5 It however has not been tested and is missing the f9 cap. But you can order caps from clickykeyboards.com.

20 bucks + 17 bucks shipping.

The f9 key isn't a big deal, if somebody was doing a unicomp order you could get one easy peasy.

and if it doesn't work (as it is untested) that might be a moot point.

The parts are valuable, even if it took buying a later one to get it running. That heavy plate, and metal badge, those are bad-ass.
“No political truth is of greater intrinsic value, or is stamped with the authority of more enlightened patrons of liberty: The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands .… may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” —James Madison, Federalist 47
“All the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judiciary, result to the legislative body. The concentrating of these in the same hands, is precisely the definition of despotic government. An ELECTIVE DESPOTISM was not the government we fought for; but one .... in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.” — Thomas Jefferson, commentary on Federalist 48

I would doubt that it doesn't work. Model M's especially the earlier models were well made. Even if it isn't working the parts are still worth $19. I much prefer the 1390131 to the 1390120 because the latter doesn't have LED lock lights.
