Spotted on an otherwise perfectly regular XT. Maybe the machine decided to stop firing it's lazor.

Hmm, the tint on a couple of caps is a bit off..

And the printing is all gone.. ABS caps with pad printing. On an IBM Model F keyboard.
Is that an EMR KB I spy? sweet find! Upload images of the inside please, I want to compare it with the other EMR KBs I've seen pictures of.Findecanor wrote: ↑I suppose those are third party caps made for a specific application.
I thought the IBM logo was lasered? You can see the grain of the metal (where its sanded or whatever) is not interrupted. I guess the laser cut out halfway through and it somehow made it past QA ..?Findecanor wrote: ↑ The logo could just have been cleaned with alcohol or something. Cleaning fail. At work, I have had to specifically tell the office cleaners to not use their strong cleaning fluids on the computer equipment.
Well, I mean, an unsaver /is/ rareREVENGE wrote: ↑I managed to wipe the IBM lettering clean off of an unsaver's badge...
Damn, maybe I should put it on eBay, claim that it's RARE, and wait for some unsuspecting Parak to bid on it...
yes I agree,that badge is strange. Possiblly a relpaced badge.Even if it's printed it's highly irregular. Those letters are like impossible to get off the metal of the badge.
Plate is in really good shape though.
Clearly you wouldn’t want it now that it’s been irreparably damaged like that. You should just send it to me instead.REVENGE wrote: ↑I managed to wipe the IBM lettering clean off of an unsaver's badge...
