I would like to buy a Model M if anyone has one to sell! I've been after one for a while and only have memories of sneaking into the computer room at school, past all the BBC Micros to the teachers IBM PC (could even have been a Model F in the late 80s early 90s?) just to click on the keyboard...ah...

I am only going to be bolt modding one board, i thought of making a jig but i do not have access to a drill press so i will just have to use a hand drill. In the video i recommended the guy uses a pointy file to make pilot holes and it looked like it worked so i am going to give it a shot. Having d...

Wish upon a star, why don't you!

there was a blue alps board sold for 60€ recently

Cheap vintage blues wanted for project.

How would i go about even winning one of these then getting it shipped to europe. That omnikey is tasty

Okay, that's not a ps/2 keyboard. See that SGI copyright? That means its an SGI protocol, which means… You're screwed unless you can find the documentation on the protocol and program your own converter. Too Bad its a really nice board wish i had saw it in time to buy it altought its not qwerty but...

Too bad, i would of bought that ive got an older model also made in ireland. Their plant is an hour from where i live. Mine is Din But i use DIN->PS2->USB. Good luck with the board. I took my leaf springs out though and click modded them. Here is a picture of mine

One other thing I just though of. If you are doing many of these bolt mods I think ideally you would want some kind of jig to keep the barrel plate perfectly flat and well supported. Then you would need some sort of drill press to ensure no holes are drilled at an angle. I'm not sure about starting...

Lots of little nuggets of information spread all over the web it seems. That is what i have found aswell, when i bolt mod my model m i am also converting it to ISO. I have just compiled what i think is best information from many different guides. The video i recommended is very good in my opinion. ...

Some videos and photos that we have made in the past few years about IBM model M cleaning, disassembly and putting it all back together.

I plan to also bolt mod my model m but not an ssk, i have come across the video you linked it seems to be the only video for bolt modding a model m, but in fact i found a video of someone bolt modding a ibm wheel writer that has more or less the same design as the model m and it helped me to figure ...

Too bad, youre right too. Those things will only go up in price Thanks anyway

Hi, have you any other keyboard stuff youre looking to get rid of. In ireland myself so easy to deal with. I see your main board is an ssk would you be interested in selling that. Im interested in anything you have got really. could even pm you my phone number so we could talk easier

Thanks for the response, unfortunately im on the other side of the world although soarers converters are worth it the shipping is not.

Did you test this on Windows 10, if so do you know if it is possible to program the keys on windows 10, if so how ?

I would be interested in the board if it is still available or any g80-1000/3000 with doubleshot or dyesub

Messaged about ibm 1394542

Would you be interested in selling it ?

Im relatively new to alps boards, whites being my first ever alps switches and here is my board with some before and afters. Its an Alps made AT102. Before.JPG Before-1.JPG Before-2.JPG After.JPG After-2.JPG ALPS-Label.JPG Its a really nice board before i got it i was using a gateway 2000 and before...

Your image tags are pointing to something on Google Photos that apparently hasn't been setup to be linked from here. Ideally just attach directly here and place inline. Assuming your "Lots of tobacco" refers to the brown gunk commonly found on those PCBs, that'd be rosin flux. Hey thanks for that, ...

This is my ALPS made AT102, figured i through up a few pictures of what it was like when i originally got it and after i cleaned it up. Lots of tobaco PS- Sorry not very good at taking photo's

It is a weird a board i have only came across one other like it but the sticker on the back was...
