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.

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?
