Just noticed this seller listing lots of different Model M varieties this morning.  Most are 101 and 122 terminal boards, but there are some 1391401s and at least one Model F bigfoot.  Each is the same price at $49.99 with free shipping.  It looks like he is using a stock photo and just adjusting the model number, so don't go by the photo.  There is at least the one Model F, so more may be forthcoming if one is patient.

Looks like the 1401s are gone.   :thumb:

Nothing new today, so that may be all that this seller has for this round of listings.

Yes, it was fun seeing so many M's appear at once!

For what it's worth, all that's left now are terminal boards, and a few of the less-desirable 4th-gen boards (e.g. 52G9658).

That said, if any of these were made in 1986, and you can get the seller to confirm that, and you're willing to put a Teensy in it, you'll have a super-solid first-generation Model M, similar to a 1390120, for considerably less than the usual cost—plus some fun, less-conventional terminal legends, and maybe even an extra numpad key.
