Link.

Nice condition, but bloody expensive for a non-NIB unit, given that he usually sells these for about half the price for ones that aren't as old, and not as in good a condition.

Looks good!
Ripster when the double stick poster tape that holds the LED mini-pcb was replaced?

As far as I know, it was common to pretty much all Model Ms except the later 42H1292s.

HA. Not if you have your trusty nut driver!

Yeah, that warranty sticker is conspicuously absent from my M13. I figured that shipping it back to him would cost so much anyway that the warranty wasnt worth my time.

I don't see how he can justify that price if it's including the PS/2 cable. At least provide it with what it came with - PS/2 was introduced in '87 so a keyboard from '86 should not have it.

Yeah, he seems to distribute new SDL cables with all his boards. I'm sure if you asked nicely he might be able to give you an AT one.

Hmmmm - I thought all early M's had stabilizer bars instead of inserts on the long keys, but this beautiful board's plate unit seems to have the later type inserts. Perhaps a newer replacement during repair/refurb?
No matter where you go, there you are...

Yeah. It's easy enough to retrofit the older Ms and possibly Fs to have stabilizer-free large keys.
