All sold now, thanks!
I'm working from home now and it's time to downsize to one office's worth of peripherals.
First, my IBM Model F XT. I refurbished this and installed a Teensy for USB support; see build thread at viewtopic.php?f=7&t=17673. Works flawlessly and is an absolute pleasure to use. It works/feels great, so I didn't touch the foam. The only condition issue is that my Krylon repaint hasn't worn well after 18 months of heavy use, so it has some "patina." How does $150 plus calculated shipping to your location sound?
Second, my Lexmark-manufactured IBM Model M. Very nice, clean keyboard. Has a couple scratches on the top casing and some of the keycaps, not sure what happened there. The Y key fails to register maybe once out of every 20 normal key presses; I presume it has a failed rivet, but I have not opened it up. I've used it a ton just like it sits. $65 plus calculated shipping.
Finally, my MicroSpeed (CST, now P.I. I guess?) Kid TRAC trackball mouse. I LOVE this thing, but it doesn't play nicely with my Mac at home like it did with my work PC using some corrected acceleration curves, and I don't have time to work with it. Classic heavy-duty large opto-mechanical trackball with amazing primary color scheme. Has a couple minor scratches on the top casing. Includes serial-to-PS2. TRACKBALL IS SOLD, THANKS!
Would consider trades involving a current-version CST L-Trac. Otherwise, Paypal.
SOLD: IBM Model F XT w/USB, Lexmark Model M, Microspeed Kid Trac

If you don't mind me asking, how bad is it? It's always hard to tell from pictures alone. I noticed from your old thread that it looks considerably more grey in that picture.mmcdowell wrote: 18 Aug 2020, 17:52 my Krylon repaint hasn't worn well after 18 months of heavy use, so it has some "patina."

It's worn where my hands rest at the bottom; I can try to take pictures in better lighting tomorrow.Dikkus wrote: 19 Aug 2020, 05:20 If you don't mind me asking, how bad is it?

Seems the paintjob didnt go so well, so perhaps Kryon was not suited. I'm about to paint my model m industrial grey, may I ask, since you have experience, what should I use to paint it? I was thikning vinyl or plastic dye would fare better
