IBM BS boards production dates
« on: Tue, 11 March 2014, 23:52:29 »
would there happen to be any buckling spring boards made in feb 1990?

either model m or ssk.  i've seen a few made in 1990 but none have been a hit for february.

Sure.  Look at the dates in the ClickyKeyboards M archive project:

They were first produced in the mid-80s if I'm not mistaken, so I would imagine so.

I've been looking for a Model M made on my birthday for a while, I'd love to have one that's as old as me :D I also look for my friends, but the closest I've gotten is within a day.

Didn't someone start a list of "dates to look for" last year?

You might have much better luck if you have a nice M to offer in trade, so that the seller does not lose anything in the deal.

PS - I have a Model F from 1 day after my 33rd birthday.
