Hi,
I'm getting an used IBM Model M keyboard (1391412) from 1991 for 65$ (in burgermoney). My problem is that the seller didn't include the SDL cable with the keyboard, and I'm really struggling with finding an used one in Poland.
Guess I got 2 choices now:
1 - Just buy one and ship it from the US, which will cost me around 40$
2 - Figure out another way to get it working, and that's why I'm looking for an advice here
Help would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Here, will probably be a lot cheaper than getting one from the US.

I may have a cheaper (used) one and I'm in europe so shipment would be cheaper also. If you are interested I'll look for it. I can order a usb to sdl Soarer's converter from orihalcon sooner this way.

I have two spare SDL-PS2 cables and can part with them for cheap, about $15 for both plus shipping from Russia. One is in perfect shape and another has stretched coiles. PM if you are interested, I'll take a photo of them.
Alternately if you need to convert these keyboards to USB you can just desolder the SDL connector from the controller and attach Pro Micro to the corresponding pins. Photo from inside with USB Type C breakout board, outside view (laser cutted aluminium panel).
