[WTB] Unmodified IBM SSK

Hi guys, I became more of a lurker in the past months due to personal events like KIDS and HOUSE :shock: :lol: As a side project, I bought an IBM PS/2 Model 70 that I restored: new hard drive, new floppy drive, added an audio card, etc. I am nearly finished with the project and as a cherry on the ca...

You can also remove the isolation on a long wire using an x-acto knife and steady hands.

It depends on the interface you're using.
I have Kodi with a skin that let me do everything from a keyboard, no mouse required.

If you do restore it, PM me what you need exactly as I have a donor board.
Free of charge, of course, only pay the shipping (should be around 8 - 10$).

I'm the same way. I fooled myself into thinking my F107 felt as nice as my XT, but I just didn't want to put my XT away after taking it out and using it for the first time in weeks. The F107 still feels good but the XT is so crisp and feels a bit more tactile to me. Really hope my F77 remake feels ...

This restoration is amazing and the powder coat job is soooo beautiful. It is more grey than eggshell but classy nonetheless.

For the keycaps, here's an idea to complement the indy blue ones: Unicomp blue APLs (I never saw them in the wild, I wonder if they are as faded out as the orange ones).
