New here, and not sure if i'm meant to post past tense finds on here also - but i'd like to share just how fortunate I am with you all.
I've been checking Ebay regularly recently, mainly to check for 22" CRT monitors - and this popped up in the items i may be interested in.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280495674905I noticed that bad, unbranded CRT - but I also noticed the IBM Keyboard - which looked strangely like a Model M to me. I had only educated myself properly on mechanical keyboards a week or so previously, and did a little more picture research to attempt to figure out if it was actually a fabled Model M which I had heard so much about.
I ended up persuading the seller to just sell me the keyboard, with postage and packaging - for £15 (listing wanted pickup only). It came this Tuesday, and although missing a scroll lock and numpad del, it works like a charm. It looked hardly used, the seller had no idea what she had just parted with. Will be buying the keycaps when I get hold of some money, student life is hard. Keys were put in the dish washer today - and I now feel like im controlling a battleship. I am grateful for information i was able to find on here. But also hope i've not made people too jealous.
e: the date is 03-04-19, what does this mean for the creation date?
