I will order some stuff from Unicomp.
If somone needs something from them, just post your requests or pm me.
Shipping will be to Berlin, Germany.
Edit: Shipping now worldwide.
I will order on Friday, 15th July, 2011, at 22:00:00.00 GMT (this is midnight is central Europe).
Because I will not order stuff which is not been paid for, you are required to pay in advance (except for the shipping costs)!
OK, no more orders (except if it is nothing too fancy)!

Hi,
I recently made an account on Geekhack, and was recommended deskthority as I live in Norway.
This group buy seems interesting, I really do want a quality buckling spring.
Do you have an estimation of what the shipping would be from Germany to Norway?

DE: 6.9 EUR
EU: 17 EUR
NO: 30 EUR
I think shipping directly will be cheaper, because there might be 2x customs fees and import tax, instead of only once!

Don't know, but I'm sure it will be lower per order than $95 including shipping within EU (17 EUR) .artee wrote:I tried to order Unicomp Spacesaver and the shipping to Czech Republic was 95 $ for a 79 $ keyboard... What is the shipping to DE from them?
Do you know how they wanted to ship? USPS, UPS, or FedEX?
Package size would be 1.11m x 1.11m x 0.88m.USPS wrote: Individual dimensions may not exceed 46 inches in length by 35 inches in width by 46 inches in height.
4lb: $94.85

It involves also keyboards.paat wrote:Does this mo include to buy keyboards aswells or just keycaps? I think about to get a customizer or spacesaver for quite some time.
Thanks! Do you know more about shipping costs?webwit wrote:They use UPS.
I've tried to find out the shipping costs @ UPS' website but did not find the information quickly enough.

An Industrial regular-sized (101-key) M case with appropriate label and LED mask would be good, but I'd need to be sure the shipping wouldn't be too much extra (UK).
These Industrial cases are NOS, right? I noticed the two IBM M keyboards I have are several mm shorter across the keygroups than the Unicomp Spacesaver. I don't know if this is a general Unicomp thing, or a Spacesaver thing, or what.

It's NOS. It's a Spacesaver thing, Unicomp Model Ms have the same case as older Model Ms because they use the original equipment.

Depends on how much the shipping costs are. I'm quite sure that the costs per weight will be lower the heavier the package is! I will forward shipping costs according to price. If you get only a shell it will be $20 and the whole package would cost say $500, your part is 4%. Let the shipping costs be $150, you would have to pay (including VAT etc.):nathanscribe wrote:An Industrial regular-sized (101-key) M case with appropriate label and LED mask would be good, but I'd need to be sure the shipping wouldn't be too much extra (UK).
...
(20+150*20/500)*1.2/1.4+17 == 39.29 EUR insured, or
(20+150*20/500)*1.2/1.4+8.9 == 31.18 EUR uninsured

If you want to try get a standard (101 to 105 key) Model M used much cheaper! I would never buy a standard Model M at Unicomp, because the real ones are cheaper. I got one myself in a nearly unused condition.artee wrote:this is very tempting... I already have 2 mech keyboards, but would like to try the buckling springs...
Whats more of a problem is to get a 122 key Model M which works with a PC here in Europe. Same for the industrial gray shells.

Sort of...webwit wrote:It's NOS. It's a Spacesaver thing, Unicomp Model Ms have the same case as older Model Ms because they use the original equipment.
The Customizer et al are based off the 42H1292 which had a different case to the older style Model Ms. All the Industrial keyboards are based on the older style.
The keyboard assembly would fit into an older style case, but the LED lights wouldnt line up, and the cabling would be weird.

Hmm, I've got something wrong here. First, I shouldn't have said "IBM Spacesaver", but "whatever IBM the Unicomp Spacesaver is based on" instead - my mistake. Second, I must be going mad - I could have sworn the spacing across the groups of keys was slightly different when my keyboards were next to each other on the desk, but I've measured them and they are now the same. Gremlins, optical illusion, alcohol... take your pick.webwit wrote:Ah. I was referring to the Unicomp space saver.
The Unicomp LEDs are placed differently though.
... so the industrial cases are as for the 1391401 etc.?daedalus wrote:The Customizer et al are based off the 42H1292 which had a different case to the older style Model Ms. All the Industrial keyboards are based on the older style.

From Jim Owens,
We have some of the 101 cases, which sell for $20, however, these may
not work with models made by Unicomp after 1996.

I'm interested in two full-sized Industrial cases (with stickers if stickers are possible).
How much is the group buy currently at? (approximately)

For my part I've got 7 Model Ms and I don't plan on selling anyone of them: but I think they look better with the industrial case (I've got one real industrial, I'm already waiting for another industrial case that already made it to europe in the french group buy and now two more here)Jim66 wrote:I foresee more industrial model Ms appearing on ebay before long...

Do you put the perl white key shells into water overnight and glue the labels on the industrial shells, once they dried?TacticalCoder wrote:For my part I've got 7 Model Ms and I don't plan on selling anyone of them: but I think they look better with the industrial case (I've got one real industrial, I'm already waiting for another industrial case that already made it to europe in the french group buy and now two more here)Jim66 wrote:I foresee more industrial model Ms appearing on ebay before long...
