Does not include cable, has one piece buttons, and is dirty with dried-liquid stains. Definitely not worth it, fohat. This looks worse than any Model F I’ve seen, and it isn’t even made in the 1980s.
For me it would be $43.6 shipped which is pretty cheap. I have cables but serious users probably want orihalcon cables anyway.
The description says one-piece gray buttons under caps which is typical. And they are all there, which is great.
I don't even think about dirt because I thoroughly clean every used keyboard I buy, inside and out, as soon as I get it. That is the easiest part.
Where do you get clean Model Fs? The dirt level on this is "about average" for an ebay Model F, from what I have seen.
Although they don't have the heavy plates, I like 1990-91 era 1391401s pretty well.

“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
