I find it ironic that an industrial m has a crack....  ah yes very industrial indeed :))

For the record, following age-old sacred Craigslist tradition, a low ball offer has been sent. You'll never know.  ;D

I bought this keyboards younger sibling this year for USD 546.78 in a set of 3 keyboards: Terminal M122, 1390120, and 1388032
http://www.ebay.com/itm/161198400044
It was in terrible shape and was missing several keys.

Now it looks like this
70168-0
70170-1

I am not sure if it is really worth USD 800 with a crack in the back. But it is for sure the oldest PC compatible Model M that I know of.
I searched the net before I bought mine and could only find one November 1985 1388032. I think it belongs to webwit (DT).

But then of course there is always a bigger fish.
Or in this case an even older Model M 1386303 keyboard.
The IBM Model M terminal keyboards only need a passive converter to be used on a PS/2 connector.

there was one older one I know of that sold on eBay for $NOPE. It was also in fantastic shape.

I'm not convinced that this is the case.

I've always wanted one of them, but they always go for more than what I like to pay (more than $30 :p )
