New post [Other external] Great/Interesting Finds

Thank you, I missed your reply with all the site issues lately. I don't know enough to tell from the photo whether those legends are printed. But from the others I've seen with the legends worn off I'm guessing they are. So far I haven't seen a 555 with double shots, and I haven't seen its successor,

New post [Keyboards] Can someone identify this aftermarket Model M controller?

After seeing your blog, yours originally fits M122 and is fixed to the metal plate so that M101 can be put in.

Hi,
Thanks for your response. That would be great. The only UK retailer I found was this one but they are out of stock.

I just started getting into the hobby and ran across this broken M2 that I am going to repair but upon disassembly I noticed that it had what looks like two manufacturing stickers on the back. At first I thought maybe the board had been sent in when the board was under warranty and perhaps
