IBM 1391401 PS2 Wired Keyboard Working Free Shipping!  (eBay)

2nd-gen (gray logo), otherwise in pretty nice shape. It's the cheapest I've seen lately for a Model M that's not seriously messed up. Hope nobody buys it before I can post this...

Somebody already bought it, lol.

But it looked to be a bit of a frankenstein as some of the key stems where different colors.  Project board for someone that went wrong?

Good deal!

Stems were often random light/dark in my experience.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

Interesting.  I'll have to check that when I give all my Ms a good cleaning.

Huh, someone got it for an offer. So no more than $30 shipped then... Nice! Anybody here?
