Dell AT101W && IBM Model M, 45$ shipped
« on: Sat, 01 September 2012, 23:30:48 »
Sigh, been (perhaps excessively) trawling the Ebay lately. Came across this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-2-Mixed-Keyboards-1-Dell-AT101W-1-IBM-1395665-/370630120414?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item564b46d3de

Have at it.

Good lord! That's a bargain for the keycaps alone!

You think so?

Rawko is local to me and I have been inside a couple of times. They know exactly what everything is worth and rarely sell it for less.

The Model M terminal is missing a few keys, although I like that cover. A full set of Alps keycaps would be nice, I think the Dells were dye subs that held up well.

It is safe to assume that neither of these boards work.

"Starting in 2011, the deficits again started to shrink. During Obama’s term  the deficit was reduced by $900 Billion  before finally in 2015 the GOP managed to wrangle a “reconciliation” bill out of Obama where he again cut corporate taxes, as well as made permanent some of George W. Bush’s original tax cuts. This is the year everything reversed. Before this, under Clinton, Bush and Obama the deficit in almost every year was gradually decreasing. The balance we had of taxes and the economy was bringing the deficit down, the money coming in was slowly catching up with the money going out until 2015. Trump’s subsequent tax cut has continued the new trend even after the rest of Bush’s cuts have since expired. Obama had an average GDP of 2.3%, with 11.6 million jobs created and unemployment peaking at 10% in 2009, then falling to 4.3% in 2016. If we had continued on that downward deficit track, we would have again reached balance and another surplus in 2017-2018.

You should be able to get your money back on the caps and they'd still be of good use for personal use, and the boards are there for the switches if you want them. :)

My collection does not need to grow in volume, but I would probably have done it if the M terminal had standard function keys and home cluster.

Without those, and missing the Escape and numpad "0" I would have a bunch of difficult-to-fill gaps.

And I have 2-3 AT101s that are surely better than that one.

Yeah, and the unicomp replacements are always a little off.

AT101's have dyesub keycaps? that's interesting, though the keys on this one look a little shiny, so I suspect it's some form of ABS (Or it's super heavily used.)

They are ABS and laser etched. I see some yellowing as well. The caps aren't worth much in my opinion.

If you want Alps dye subs I have a SGI board posted in the classifieds.
