Great/Interesting Finds

[emdude]

No, webwit has one in his collection.

Out of curiosity, does anyone have estimates as to how high it will go?

[Redmaus]

at least 300$

Silly buyer just took his final ending bid price down by 100$ by having it start at 100. Gets more hype when it starts at 0.99

[Abstractions]

Hmmm... Whats the story on the IBM logo, as a picture I found of an Industrial m13 has a blue logo.



But the ebay listing has a black/gray logo...

[emdude]

There seems to have been a bit of variation with the badges for the industrial Model Ms.. The square label industrials came in both silver-on-black and traditional silver varieties, for example.

Spoiler:

Another nice, rare M13 (not currently for sale). An early Lexmark with Erase-Eaze. Pretty cool:

Oh wow, cool!

I don't think I've ever seen a Model M (other than the M15) with a split spacebar.

Model M13 Industrial

Did't know this existed, is it a custom job?

being that it,s made by Maxiswitch, this is probably a rubber dome and not an IBM buckling spring keyboard, no? I would think that would put a big damper on bidding.

[derzemel]

also, isn't the non-removable cable a clear indication that the keyboard is rubber dome?
All the Model Ms I have seen with non-removable cable have been rubber dome

[shreebles]

I have a Blue Label Lexmark Model M with non-removable cable. It's not a rubber dome.
Costs had to be cut everywhere, see.

Oh, ok. Didn't think of it that way

[shreebles]

Here it is, with my next level modding skills applied to remedy the annoying fixed cable.

My Maxiswitch M13 has buckling springs.

I want that Erase-Eaze M13!

Siemens TA-BS/1200-11535 in Bulgaria (pricey?). It seems to have Siemens STB 21 switches:

Model M13 Industrial

The same seller seems to be a big TrackPoint fan. The 60G0816 TrackBall is curious, but his prices are a bit idealistic

Interesting bottom rows, especially the first one.

[seebart]

That FRANKEN M has been in there for a long time, it's some Unicomp mod.

I don't think so. I think the seller might have been confused as to what people were asking and described the switch housing.

On the epson, the caps are nice but the layout isn't

[seebart]

The layout is fine, the shipping cost turns me off. It also needs retrobrighting. It's been in there for quite a while with a price drop now...

[Touch_It]

Those Epson caps look incredibly thick.

Fujitsu Leaf Spring 3rd Generation "tombstone" keycaps:

wiki/Fujitsu_Leaf_Spring

[Redmaus]

I have an Epson board with 2nd generation, and the caps are super thick, probably the thickest caps I have ever possessed or seen in a keyboard.

Keyfeel isn't bad either, they feel linear with a small bump along the line. Pretty smooth and thocky.
