IBM SSK bolt-modded 1987 1-piece caps $250 shipped
« on: Thu, 30 July 2015, 16:26:51 »
Excellent condition SSK old-style with 1-piece caps (about 2-3 were missing and have been replaced with 2-pc) which are almost like new with no shiny spots, not even on the space bar.

Fully tested, thoroughly cleaned inside and out, and bolt-modded (by me) with nuts and washers.

There is a faint residue of writing on the back which I cleaned 98% and I suspect you could get the rest with slightly more aggressive cleaning, but it might leave a shiny spot, which is why I stopped.

$250 shipped domestic US. I would really prefer not to ship international, but it would be $60 additional.

Weekend bump. This is a very nice specimen, much better than what is currently on ebay for a few $20 bills less.

I'm 100% positive that, if I had a BS BB v2, I'd be unable to resist the urge to buy this buckling beauty.

People be mad to pass up on this!

I have two already, and international postage also prevents me from buying it, but I am tempted.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Yep.  I have a Unicomp 103 in the mail.  Still would like to get a bolt modded 1390120 or other Silver label someday.
