2004 IBM branded Unicomp SSK? P/N 1393278
« on: Sat, 16 July 2016, 14:48:44 »
Got a little too drunk tonight and impulse bought an SSK (1393278) on Yahoo Auctions Japan - problem is there doesn't seem to be much info on this board.

All my searches are coming up only in Japanese and mention that it's made by Unicomp... but it's IBM branded, do those exist?  :confused:

it'll be coming in the mail soon - looks super clean and hopefully mostly working.

Didn't Unicomp manufacture keyboards for IBM for a while?

There are plenty of Model M keyboards marked "Made by Unicomp for IBM".

Yep, that's a perfect valid combination of manufacturer and labeling.

Thank you guys!

Looks like my google-fu was weak. "Made by Unicomp for IBM" turns up the right results. Was mostly only familiar with the lexmark for IBM stuff and guess there aren't too many write ups on the IBM Unicomps.

Glad I didn't get scammed!

If Unicomp made SSK before, meaning that we still have hope for brand new unicomp ssk.

My understanding was that Unicomp would build you an SSK out of leftover parts until about 10 years ago, when the leftovers ran out.

Seems like iMav and webwit got the last few pieces.

"Starting in 2011, the deficits again started to shrink. During Obama’s term  the deficit was reduced by $900 Billion  before finally in 2015 the GOP managed to wrangle a “reconciliation” bill out of Obama where he again cut corporate taxes, as well as made permanent some of George W. Bush’s original tax cuts. This is the year everything reversed. Before this, under Clinton, Bush and Obama the deficit in almost every year was gradually decreasing. The balance we had of taxes and the economy was bringing the deficit down, the money coming in was slowly catching up with the money going out until 2015. Trump’s subsequent tax cut has continued the new trend even after the rest of Bush’s cuts have since expired. Obama had an average GDP of 2.3%, with 11.6 million jobs created and unemployment peaking at 10% in 2009, then falling to 4.3% in 2016. If we had continued on that downward deficit track, we would have again reached balance and another surplus in 2017-2018.

Yup, just the leftovers sitting around the warehouse:

They never actually produced any as Unicomp and I'll eat my hat if they ever do again.
