I don't tell people whether it's worth it or not to anybody.

Can you make an estimation on how long the dye keeps on there?
Or do they stay on there forever?

Depends on how well it was done.


Maybe it's not Rit dyed though. Just ask the seller.

They are dyed no doubt. Cherry does not offer any keycaps but their grey thin PBT and thicker black POM anymore. No more colors at all, even for bigger custom orders.

Just taken apart my IBM model M and it has no broken rivits and it looks in perfect condition. Does this push up how much it is worth?
D.O.B: 1989-11-07
Model:1391406 (UK layout white label)
How much do you think it is worth?

Id recon it to be worth 40-50€ easily. possibly more on the UK market.

Hello everyone,

I've got this Model M with french layout (AZERTY) that I wish to sell. Reasons are I need money and buckling springs is not my cup of tea. It works perfectly but needs cleaning and there are a few scratches on top of the case (like if someone has put tape on it and then taken it off).

Model : 1391402
DOB : 28/02/1990
PS/2 connection

Photos are below :






I am completely unable to put a price on it. The only thing I'm sure of is that I'd rather keep it than sell it for peanuts, that's still part of my personal collection.

If someone could help that would be greatly appreciated.

It has just been mentioned in my FS thread that these are near impossible to get your hands on.

Thank your for mentioning it. That means putting a quote on it will be difficult as well probably ^_^;
Hope someone will be more knowledgeable than I am.

Ebay is a good place to find the price of something. Check on completed listings.

60-80 should be possible, maybe more

btw whats is a chicony 5193r with plate mounted cherry blues worth?

Can you guys tell me how much a 1992 blue label ANSI US layout Model M is worth these days. I'm in the UK.

A picture of the keyboard is attached.

Thanks

You can pick them up on ebay.com for about $30-$40 and brand new for $70. One went the other day for $55 NIB.

ACER 6311-HU (ALPS switch)

nice key caps (once the lettering is completely gone)

Those switches on the Acer look a bit odd. Though I cant really see it well. Are you sure those aren't the Acer switches?

Check the Vintage Switch Wiki if you want to make sure.

Yes, looks like the Acer switche.

sorry, my fault, it's Acer Switch.

How about my TG3 BL82 with back light mod and cherry clears. It came with factory back lighting, but since it was designed for police cars, the back lighting won't work over p2/s without a mod. Some simple splicing and it's good to go. BTW, the cherry clears are not the standard switch for this board. It normally comes blacks and apparently this one with clears was either part of a limited run or custom order I guess. Either way, thing is built like a tank, there are few plate mounted clear boards out there, and even fewer with clears and back lighting.

^ I would also like an appraisal on this. I have one too.

not more then the price you payed...everyone has see nthe thread on geekhack.

I don't own one but would an ISO Model M Spave saving cost more or less Than an ANSI one? And how much to you think an ISO would go for normally, and NIB just for the heck of it.

A modded one not the regular one.

Hahaha magna... you keep popping up in every thread I make about this. On geekhack I'm retox

I have found ISO SSKs to be a good bit rarer then their ANSI counterpart, but due to the differences in currency value they end up costing about the same. Personally, I had been searching for an ISO SSK for half a year and then gave up finding one, so my ANSI SSK is currently being bolt modded and changed to ISO by half-saint for me.

150€ is a ballpark estimate, a NIB would net a good bit more of course...but that would depend entirely on the layout, and the amount of people interested. Anything is possible in an auction.

Haha, I'm interested in this one. I don't see many new factory custom keyboards. Also I just realized the spacebar has four clear plastic pieces rather than two on this one. I couldn't find any other TG3 boards with four.
