Do a good deed, buy a Model F for under $1
« on: Fri, 08 November 2013, 14:07:56 »
starts at: $0.99
3 day auction
keyboard looks in superb condition

The seller says they need to raise money to cure their 4 year old daughter's cancer.

What are you guys waiting for?

Let's see bids of at least $20. Considering how expensive healthcare is in the USA, it'll probably be sufficient to pay for chemotherapy for maybe a dozen of the poor girl's cells.

FKB is for fujitsu's keyboards. This is verified with a quick search of the FCC ID
c9s-4d5kb4700 (granted in 1988)

So it'd either a later gen leaf spring or more probably a peerless.

Looking it up on the DT wiki fujitsu peerless page it lists the FKB4700 as an example.

It's not that hard to look this stuff up, guys.

This second keyboard is a Fujitsu Peerless, if anyone cares.

See this guy knows what's up.

I really wish right now that I had some money to bid on this, especially since the guy seems real.  Just can't at this current time.

Bumped it up to $10. Surprised no one seems to want it. I know it is an XT, but even those lately have been fetching $30-40. Less than a half hour left.
