One More Rare M: One with a speaker (1394540)

Searching around, again the only source I've seen with a similar one is clickykeyboards.

It could use a cleaning but works great.

Any information on how rare these are?

Quite the entrance coming here and posting all those epic pictures. Hello!

[rodtang]

These aren't as rare as the other ones though

I didn't think this was quite as rare, but I didn't know what it was until an hour ago. My posting of the other two has lead me to go through my stash of M's. Looked into this one and saw the speaker, so I opened it up and took pics...

I have two more whites with a missing back label that I think are relatively early models but I've only opened up one of them.

Three standard 1391401's, and three M-13's: one black, one white, one industrial new in the box that has never been hooked up to anything.

Where are you getting this shit?

Rare but not as rare as the earlier ones. Also got one with a speaker.

From what I can tell webwit, don't you have at least one of everything?

First ever model M I bought had a speaker - it was NIB as well.

I have one with a speaker as well.

They were keyboards from IBM's RS/6000 workstations. Less common than the PS/2s, but not exactly rare either.

Mine is an IBM Soft Touch. Greased springs...
