Pardon the potato pics. I'll update them before officially adding the keyboard to my collection page.
I used black oxide screws to match the plate, and they're hex head for easier rotation. No way was I going to use Phillips for that many units.
Everything went together and worked on the first try. Beginners' luck. Not that I'm complaining. I even have a corporate t shirt.

Great model M variant and nice model M bolt-mod.
Here is the original IBM product literature mentioning the model M keyboards with Erase-Eaze option.

Hm, so the term "Erase-Eaze" was used by more than one manufacturer …

I have seen references to Compaq, Lexmark and NMB all using this technology in a few keyboards in the 1990s.

Whoa I did not know Erase-Eaze was an option with Model M's. I thought it was unique to NMB keyboards. Congrats on this find.

The small space bar chunk uses a thinner wire stabilizer, whereas the wide one uses a normal wire stabilizer. They both use traditional M stabilizer slots on the barrel frame.taylorswiftttttt wrote: ↑What type of stabilizers do the spacebar and erase eaze key use?

It was also used in Alps keyboards, specifically the MGL series.Daniel Beardsmore wrote: ↑Hm, so the term "Erase-Eaze" was used by more than one manufacturer …
