Another Australian IBM Model M
« on: Wed, 01 June 2016, 16:37:31 »
http://ebay.com.au/itm/222136933051

$10 aud or so shipping, current bid is $51 or so. Comes with cord this time. I know I definitely don't need this one, so I will leave it for another Australian.

"Missing F6, Insert & Page Down key covers, Num Pad 0 is missing spring,", in case anyone missed it.

Keycaps are easy, but the spring - is it just the spring, or the paddle too?

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

Unless the board was disassembled, the pivot plate is most likely attached.

And thats full Plate and barrel separation right.? No real way to get to the flippers without all rivets being taken out

Correct, but you can replace springs using the "chopstick of death" method (provided the flipper is intact).

I'm going to look into this chopstick of death now! For science
