Re: Heat inserts on Model M Barrel Plate?

Give it a go! If you're using 3.2mm outer diameter inserts then the worst that can happen is you'll have to remove them, and then you can almost certainly use 3mm nuts and bolts to complete the mod, as normal.

I personally think it won't work well, but if no ones done it, worth a shot.

Seen as I've never actually posted a gallery of my boards, as soon as I had some spare time, I decided I should catalogue a few of them! I've been in this hobby now for around 3 years, quietly collecting various boards, without much interaction here on DT. You may however have seen me on eBay under ...

Re: [WTS] 1986 IBM Model M (Square Badge, Low serial, Screw Modded)

I wish I knew more history on this board. These were the caps on it when I got it ,and this model number isn't too well documented. Shark thinks it could be a 3197 keyboard, but there aren't photos of any with legends like this. I suppose it probably is a combination of a strange terminal layout / ...

£230 is pretty good price for new Hybrid Type-s, right?
There were some on UK eBay for £200 lately. Opened - Never used. They were returns it seems.
That's probably more the ballpark.
