These were the available options but I'm sure they can do other stuff if asked.

They look FANTASTIC, but then again I have old man's eyes.

Most important thing is that all the shipping addresses are correct and verified. No one want's their badges lost in the mail system.

Looking forward to seeing them up close and applying them onto a few SSKs.

Elrik these are for regular M's only, the SSK has different measurements! If you want a refund NOW is the time as I'm doing the packaging and going to the post office today!

Damn, but not worried here, STILL want these for the regular Model-Ms in my possession.

You see I always have enough Keyboards to take the place of those that were first chosen. Still would look good on any Model-M

OK cool we can do a SSK run in the future. I've gotten some requests already, let's get this done first.

Received, I'm down for SSK run.

That was faster than I anticipated! Reminds me:

UPDATE:

all the badges have been shipped, obviously the shipping will take longer to some of you. I wraped the badges tightly together in plastic, please take care when opening that plastic wrap as not to damage them.

Just need to know, are they exactly like the older badges or are they BETTER?

they are different to the touch (duh, it's a pcb after all

)
the silver IBM text is a bit rised but not in a sharp way, it's more like bumped
i don't know if i am making any sense

Can I get 6 of these?

No, not at this time sorry.

Halvar · 03 Jul 2016, 12:10

Did you send out all of the ordered ones yet? Mine hasn't arrived so far.

Yes, I shipped all badges on June 25th.

You can order any multiple of 3 from OshPark ... but the edges will need to be cleaned up, the solder mask (background) will be dark purple, and text will be gold. Do select the option for 2oz copper on 0.8mm

The same goes for the SSK size badge that i posted earlier - did anyone order one of these yet?

wobbled · 04 Jul 2016, 21:10

I actually went to PCBWay and provided them with the order number and asked that they produce more and send to me, they did it! I can finally put an authentic looking badge on an industrial of mine.

New to this sort of thing, but interested in an SSK one. I may order one.

Just got mine today and I am truly impressed with the QUALITY here.

In fact I think it's better than the Original Badges that were made. The Letters are done in Silver and you can feel the shape of them, on the smooth black surface.

These are going straight into my old blue badged beauties.

Looking forward to the future SSK Badges, if they're done

This is how the original oval badges on industrial Ms are done as well. A subtle difference from blue-on-grey and grey-on-white badges.

Received my 3 today, they look very clean and nice. Makes me start thinking about lots of other badges .....

I have successfully removed original plastic labels with naptha (old-fashioned cigarette lighter fluid) but you have to be careful. Drip a few drops into the depression with the label and wait 20-30 seconds for it to soften the adhesive, then slowly peel it up.

Work quickly, add more naptha if needed, then quickly wipe off all the residue when you are finished. Then I wipe the whole area with alcohol and then again with a damp sponge. Naptha can be damaging to plastic, but I have done this several times and as long as you accomplish the entire procedure within a minute or 2 you should be OK.
