I just searched eBay -- none available. Anyway, I think my search for a Displaywriter keyboard belongs in another thread... Thanks, all.

Yea, I saw the last two Displaywriter keyboards that got sold. One went for over $200 -- too rich for my blood -- and the other went for about $90, I think -- more reasonable. I guess Hypersphere you got one of these. If you could, could you put up a picture of yours with the replacement Selectric k...

Wow! I had NO idea this has advanced so far by Xwhatsit... So if I somehow get my hands on a working Display Writer keyboard, I can order one of these controllers from Xwhatsit and get it to work? Please answer "yes" and I'll redouble my effort looking for one of these monsters!! I remember typing o...

@Hypersphere: Converting Display Writer keyboards? Is this possible with Soarer? I think someone is working on a controller swap that will make these monsters work, but I don't know where that stands right now. Anyway, I'd LOVE to get my hands on one of these, but so far no luck...

Ah, well. I guess I can live with one ALT and one CTRL key each. This is the best feeling Model M I have, have used so far, bar none -- very crisp. A lot of of M's got that dull click that comes with age and loose rivets. And bolt-modding is such a hassle... I've got one 122-key open waiting for bol...

So I've got a working keyboard with one LCTRL and one RALT key working. The LALT and RCTRL in the picture above do not work...

@Halvar: Thanks, I'll try your suggestion. I have an extra M controller.

@scottc: No, it's not a Polish letter. There are a few 1395162's on ebay and they all seem to have this weird /Z symbol on the front of the keypad_plus. I don't really know what it means...

OK, so I thought about this problem a little more and then decided to open up the board to see if perhaps the controller has been replaced. It's definitely not the one for 1391401. But looking at it, I can't tell whether it's a transplant. Anyway, I just decided to map my LALT to LCTRL. So now I hav...

Newbie here... I've been reading this thread quite a while and recently I was successful in converting a 122-key terminal M. I just acquired another terminal M real cheap. This one is a 101-key. But it must be a franken-board. P/N is 1395162, but it's printed on a mailing label that's been pasted ov...
