[hellothere]

I bought some extra parts for my build here. I didn't need them, so I'm selling. Because folks over here have been good to me, I decided to let this community have a crack at them before ebay does.

This is from a machine with part number 4584656. It has a square IBM logo in the upper left of the keyboard. Metal with black print.
"Personal Computer" label.

Here's what I have ...

* Original top case. No restoration of any kind. Has some scratches.
* Bottom case. Restored because of bad rust. Tried Evaporust. Didn't help. I sanded this weekend and gave it 2 coats of Rustoleum Rust Restorer on each side, then gave it two coats of Rustoleum paint with primer. Black.
* Shiny metal backplate. No restoration done. The edges where the foam touched it are a little icky, but I don't see any rust.
* Barrel plate. Restored because of bad rust. Soaked in Evaporust then gave it 2 coats of Rustoleum Rust Restorer on each side, then gave it two coats of Rustoleum paint with primer. Black.
* 25 barrels. I'd call them, "OK to good," condition.
* 23 springs with flippers. I'd call them, "Very good to brand new," condition.
* 88 springs with flippers. These are mostly the original ones. I'd call them, "Rusty to OK condition."

I'm open to offers. Possible trades, too. Key switches, other boards, etc.

EDIT:
* I spent a few minutes trying to understand international rates and customs, etc. to get an answer for gianni. He's asking for something really light and shipping was between $40 and $170. If you want to look up rates and fill out forms, please do. PM me and I'll give you a zip code. I'm in Arizona in the US.
* I wasn't specific. My fault. Nothing electronic or electric is included in this sale. That means no cable and no ... well, it's sort of a motherboard ... that has the capacitive sensors and controller.

EDIT #2: Yes, the case comes with legs and screws. I'll throw in some round, black anti-slip pads.

Edit 3: Off the market, for now.

I'd be interested in the springs, flippers and barrels. How much would you ask for those? Can you kindly tell me the delivery cost to Italy? Thanks

I'd be intererested in the case (top and bottom) plus the screws, feet and cable (anything that isn't the part of the keymodule I guess).

@gianni: Edited my post for you, regarding shipping.

Pricing: the flipper, springs, and barrels were $2, new. I'd say $0.60 for each barrel, so $15 for the set (they've been ultrasonic cleaned, BTW). $0.75 for each of the good springs/flippers, so $17.25 for the set. $0.40 for each of the so-so springs/flippers, so $35.20 for the set. I only want to sell a set at a time. As an example, if you want the so-so springs, you have to buy the bag of 88.

Rayndalf, I edited above to note that this doesn't come with anything electric or electronic. I'm sorry that I didn't mention that earlier. $80 sounds good and that would include top and bottom case, barrel plate, shiny backplate, feet (not installed), two case screws, and the black non-slip pads (not installed). I'll negotiate! I like trades! Remember, working on keyboards is my hobby!

Shipping not included. Let me get some pics done.

I'm sure I have some boards to trade around somewhere. I'm mostly looking for a case I can paint a garish color (CAT yellow or a dark muted purple) after I put the badge on another board (and find a novel replacement the now badgeless case). I guess I could get a NOS XT key assembly at some point (cost around $100 + shipping), but then I'd have 3 unconverted F XTs.

I'd definitely take an offer on just the top and bottom case.

What I think I'll do is, if I don't get any offers in about a week, I'll put this back up in the "Trade" section (after asking mod/admin). Hey, I've got around a dozen keyboards over here that I've fixed and I need to resell, so it's not like I immediately need to sell this thing.
