Today was a great holiday and a great IBM day as well. I was able to score this sweet Industrial M and an AT keyboard. This keyboard comes from a retired engineer who got this keyboard new, directly from Allen Bradley (very expensive). He had ordered these kind of keyboards for work projects and liked them a lot, which is why of course he ordered one for his own use. In his career he saw the decommissioning of a nuclear facility where all of the office equipment was put into containers designed to contain radioactive waste. Not sure if the equipment was shredded prior, but I like to think that in a 1000 years from now (or whenever the stuff is ok) there will be some awesome finds

You get lots of nifty finds! Kudos to you!

Brilliant find that Allen Bradley indy. So your the "space pirate"?

The industrial case with the custom square patch is really cool, I like also your blue XT from the other thread. Congrats to the nice finds.

Very nice! I think this is the first time that I see that badge.

Definitely a cool find and interesting variation on the indy M. Never hurts to find an IBM PC AT keyboard either Great find.

As a vintage electronics fan, I am totally blown away by that AB board. For those who may not know what Allen Bradley did, they made these:
The gold standard of resistors for decades. Kind of like the Model M of electronics components I guess.

Congrats on the finds! That SDL connector is pretty nifty, would be neat if that were the standard one used for Model Ms.
