you could probably make the money back by flipping that old hardware and get to keep the keyboard!Ivalop750 wrote: ↑Model M? 1391405 manufactured united kingdom copyright IBM 1985 print 13b build 53b 1168592f 528771

Wow, she's a looker that's for sure. Nice case and caps. I used to have a typewriter with these switches, I was quite unimpressed with the keyfeel though.Peachyhue wrote: ↑Hey boys,
This guy came in the mail today. I bought it because I fell in love with its appearance but would certainly like to know more about it. If anyone has any light to shed, I'd appreciate it greatly. Thanks for your time!

Cherry M7 (as it was later known) came out around 1970. I'm not clear what would have been around in the late 60s — I can only think of Micro Switch SW Series. What would have been more cost effective, US-made Hall effect switches, or a motor-driven mechanical assembly?
Datanetics elastic diaphragm array was introduced in 1968, which was also maybe a bit late.
Even then, the Logos 58 above still used a complex keyboard assembly instead of the discrete switches that were definitely available at the time.
Thanks guys. It just looked way too Model M alike I had to ask.
It would also be quite sad if they did part that PC out. Some sort of IBM XT clone.Myoth wrote: ↑
Does anybody know what this is ? the seller probably won't sell it without the pc but wondered what it was anyway...
I wasn't going to anyway .. though there is a nice Goupil G5 with a nice keyboard for not that expensive but it's mssing caps
