I never seen the POS having the buckling spring before I take this.
Did anybody else know that in details?

Oh nice find!
Is it F or M? It wouldn't surprise me if the innards are partly AT.

It seems like the early model of M9(like Model F and model M).
I guess it looks like the model F more.

Wow, not 10 minutes ago I was looking at the same one on GH. Here's the thread: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=71 ... msg1721572

Yep. I remember this one well. I bid on it and lost. Parak got it. It's a Model M with an AT like layout.

Parak is "r***r", not "b***a". The hunt continues!

The POS SDL is the specific one.

I think I should buy this variant of rubber dome.
