IBM Model M with RJ45 $21 shipped, maybe less
« on: Mon, 08 July 2013, 11:12:12 »
http://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-Model-M-Vintage-Clicky-Keyboard-P-N-1392595-w-RJ45-Connector-/271220957108?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item3f26075fb4

I'm not sure how great of a deal it is, but they're supposed to be fully functioning and most Model Ms I've seen, even those with an RJ45, seem to go for more.  Since it's a Buy It Now Auction that you can make an offer on, you might be able to get it for less than $20 shipped.

Worth it for the parts, especially if you are doing a chop job to acquire a smaller footprint.
“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 was thinking about getting a couple of these for the caps, but they're non standard... Some kind of POSt layout, I guess.

I didn't see it because you posted it last month and it was buried on page three.  I stumbled across it and figured it was worth posting.

If anyone here got these, could you check if they use wire or in-barrel stabs?
