Model M square badge

Hi!

I just got an M square badge, fully working but the connector pins got bent somehow and now it doesn't work.

If anyone wants it PM me, it's the heaviest [regular] M i own at 2.3 kg (5 lbs). I paid 91€ for it so... same price? PM offers and I'll have a look at them as I want it out.

Here some pics,

Best regards.

Label on the back is gone unfortunately. So can't date the keyboard or get the part no.

It is definitely an early unit. Hard to price it though as it has no label.

Maybe open it up and show the internal assembly part no. This would help show the general condition and if all internals are genuine.

About the pins you should be able to straighten them out tediously with a needle or thin screwdriver. It should most likely work fine after that.

yup, i will try it but first i need the screwdriver for the case screws xD

Unfortunately as i bought it as is it has no sticker

The 2,32kg weight (w/o cable) means that is an early unit for sure. I'll post details when I open and clean it.

TY!

Asking won't hurt anyone, as long it's not marked as sold

If you do struggle finding a Model M, drop user 'Wodan' a message / email asking if he has any.
He's always done me solid deals in the past, as long as you don't mind cleaning them up & the german layout they are great deals.
You can of course just get a replacement set of UK keycaps from Unicomp if you dislike QWERTZ.
