That is probably the shop date. keyboards-f2/ibm-shop-date-t13443.html
It looks like (at least) the mounting plate was manufactured in 1980.

It does indeed appear to be a dome w/ slider board, with Alps-mount keycaps.

Wow, that's incredible. Does the typewriter itself work? I imagine it takes a third generation Selectric ball... I only got the keyboard assembly with a few other things, but its seller noted that the typewriter did not seem to function. The typewriter does take a 96-character element ball, like th...

IBM Electronic Typewriter Model 95 - Capacitive Buckling Springs
Thanks to ohaimark, I recently learned about the IBM Electronic Typewriter line, an obscure typewriter that sat between the Selectric and Wheelwriter typewriter lines and was a hybrid of both, with electronic internals and a Selectric element ball. The only reference I could find to them on DT was i...

Unfortunately, most average people probably don't care and it is sometimes hard to encourage even the mechanical keyboard audience to appreciate the finer details and the costs of time and restoration work in finding authentic matching original IBM parts like key caps and ensuring that the keys hav...

Ahaha, not enough for a group buy I'm afraid, though if there's enough interest (it seems to be the case!), I might consider doing one once I have more free time this summer..

Something I recently got from DecentKeyboards... Also have a DSLR on loan from my school so that means crappy photos! :twisted: DT_keycaps.png Hajime Nakazato did a wonderful job with these. Was a little pricey, but most of it was in the labor cost so I bought a bunch of them to make it worthwhile. ...

Yes, that is what it should have! See this image I captured from a similar Model 85 disassembly video: http://i.imgur.com/kX2vKIG.png I had not heard of the IBM Electronic Typewriter line until very recently, thanks to an eBay listing that ohaimark found. It seems it was very short-lived, and comple...
