So I decided to order a 93 Model M from ebay that was advertised as working and in good condition. I got the keyboard yesterday only to find out the guy I bought it from sent me a broken keyboard. I contacted him and he immediately sent me my money back and didn't want the keyboard returned. So I got a broken Model M for free.
Main issue with it is the space bar has a loose spring, the spring isn't actually attached to the little peg on the hammer mechanism. Even if I place the spring on the peg, it doesn't buckle. Both the space bar switch and the right alt key have this issue (the right alt key barrel doesn't even have a spring included). No matter how I insert the spring into the barrel it won't buckle.
