$180-200 plus shipping? Does it come with the cable and whats the label on the bottom look like?

You could also try asking US $2,194.99

Is the Unsaver worth $1,000 plus?

Model Fs are good and battleships are even better, but I dont personally think what is essentially a TKL F122 is worth that much.

It's also got the weird caps on them, are these the ones the computer people / programmer dudes like so much? APL or something?

APL caps are dirt cheap

These are genuine APL caps, not Unicomp's washed out crap.

Unsaver at $1,000 now.

Yea, they are APL caps. Im one of the self described "computer people" aka general technophile (both modern and retro), and those caps would be really nice to have, but I dont think they are worth attaining via a ~$1000+ board. I would probably shell out upwards of around $100 just for the caps but anything over $250-$300 for the board itself is pushing the limits of my self justification; even if it is for a Model F. And only then it would have to be for a F122 and not the TKL version.

It is my understanding that Unicomp will sell a set of caps, although they are probably not listed in the catalog. They have a lot of stuff available but you have to make a phone call to a living person to find out. And, in my opinion, Unicomp printing is not always as bad as some people indicate, although I did buy a set of green-printed caps a couple of years ago that were atrocious.

Unicomp lists their APL set for $35 + shipping which includes a entire set of keys for a keyboard excluding the spacebar. I bought this set and it's a good value and all but the quality does not compare to the vintage APL key caps that some of these F104's have. The unicomp's have faint orange printing and of course the font is different. The APL keys found on these F104's I would say are a vibrant blood orange color with bold, black lettering (XT/AT quality). IBM also sold a set which went with Model M's which were quite nice, but not as vibrant. Basically vintage F104 APL set > vintage IBM Model M APL set > Unicomp APL set.

F104 APL Vs. Unicomp Vintage Model M APL set

Do you have a link ? pretty please

Hey guys! I've got this Cherry Serie M7 (?) switch keyboard from an Adler typewriter. How much is it worth?

Found this G80-3000LPMUS in the thrift shop. Any one know what it might be worth and from which year it is? Also the connector is PS/2, I assume I will need an active PS2->USB adapter, since my mobo doesn't have any ps2 inputs?

Another sold for $984

I bet this one hits $1200 now

That's not worth much as they aren't any rare, so I'd say MAX $30 ?

Thanks. I figured as much .

Well, depends on where he's from. If he's in the EU, I'd gladly pay 30$ for that

He's probably US based ....

Do you really have a hard time finding a G80-3k ? I thought they were pretty common :/

They are but not in ANSI layout.

I'm actually from the EU . I occasionally check the local thrift shop for IBM Model M keyboards, since I'd really want one but don't want to pay the premium price people are asking for them here. When I saw that this was a Cherry keyboard with ANSI layout I decided to buy it. I'm quite surprised that the MX blacks feel lighter on this keyboard than some others I've tried.

Can I get a price check on a NIB G81-1900HSF? The box has some wear, but it has the original manual and the board has never been used.

What is a typical price for model ms? I'm looking to buy one as a gift, and noticed there aren't many below 100 USD including shipping on eBay.

Depends on who you sell it to.

For $100 you should expect one in very good condition.

If you're good with restoring it, you could aim at much lower.
