No, webwit has one in his collection.
Out of curiosity, does anyone have estimates as to how high it will go?

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

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...

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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:

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

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
Posted: 29 Apr 2016, 00:21
by 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...

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.

legends seem too black to be lasered well, someone can still grab it for switches I guess
