I paid more for the rubber dome IBM Model M I just bought, than what I paid for my buckling spring Unicomp Model M Unfortunately I dind't have a clue...
Now what should I do with it? The conditions are pretty nice. The keycaps are just filthy but not shiny. The case is almost perfect apart from a scratch, and the keyboard is working okay. This kind of rubberdome is not one of the worst I've tried, as it sounds pretty nice, but is still very bad to type on...
Can I use the case on my Unicomp? I didn't opened the IBM as it has those f***ing weird screws(I've seen the pen method and will try soon) and didn't open the Unicomp as it is brand new...

They will work with your IBM model M screws.
Regarding the new keyboard: if you do not like it, send it back to the seller or sell it, that is what I would do.

The 7* model number means rubber dome, for future reference.
I have had a couple that I was able to sell for around $15 + shipping on ebay.
