IBM Model M LED Overlay Sticker WANTED ...!!
« on: Sun, 16 December 2018, 06:00:21 »
I would like to buy GENUINE ibm model m led overlay stickers.
I know that Unicomp sell them but I am interested in original IBM-made ones.

According to my information, 1390131 used to be shipped with extra led overlay stickers sealed in small plastic bag, I would love to buy such sealed bag.

so if any one happens to have those stickers, I very interested in buying them

Huh? They are OEM stickers. The pebble overlay ones are the original stickers for the IBM keyboards.
As indicated by the picture, on the left side...
OEM Terminal, OEM 42H (4th gen) and 139 (3rd gen or older) keyboard overlays are indicated.
I hope this helps.

yes but I am not sure about the quality of Unicomp-made stickers, those ones shown in your pic are still Unicomp-made, right ??.
 I am afraid that, just like everything Unicomp makes, they would have low quality.

to have IBM-grade ones is very important as they will be used for an attempt to convert 1390120 to 1391401

Unicomp does not really **** up stickers. They only fail to place them correctly (see my review) if they come with the keyboard. :)

Those ARE stock IBM overlays in the Unicomp warehouse. If you like, find an old 1401 and take the sticker off carefully and compare them. I never saw any difference. It's your money.

Huh?

I would transplant the 120 back plate into the 401 internals and consider it an upgraded 401. Purity will not be a characteristic of your Franken-board in any case.

Unicomp makes stickers overlays with light holes top and light holes bottom. Their quality is entirely reasonable.

edit: sorry, I was using improper terminology. to me, a square metal thing is a badge, and everything else is a plastic sticker.

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."
