Keyboards in Australia - LOTS!!!
« on: Mon, 11 January 2010, 05:02:41 »
Hi All

As a newbie here, im looking to extend my collection beyond my 3 Model Ms and soon to be Model F.

http://www.a1usedcomputers.com.au/shop/prodList.asp?idCategory=8

Are any of these of suitable "value" to acquire? :) Notice there are lots of Cherrys on there (or for that matter any folks overseas would like me to get and send on - not sure if these guys will post OS!)

Cheers

At $10 for a Model F AT you should not even consider to worry about the conditions but buy all of them, now.

Better to check if those AT Fs are really 83 keys as described before you pay.

It's a miscount obviously, but the fact that it claims the logo says Personal Computer AT is a giveaway. There were no keyboards than the AT Model F that had such a logo.

Besides, at $10, can you really go wrong? =P

I know that. But they also listed XTs you've quoted as 83keys and as Personal Computer AT leaving Sub Model column blank.
 
I meant just for safety reason.

Want 3270 terminal board p/n 1397000 if they were in same price range.
