FS - IBM Model M-13 Keyboard

[mikek5117]

Selling about the last of my PC/Thinkpad gear that has been cluttering up the office. This is an IBM Model M13, PN 13H6705 keyboard. All black, with trackpoint mouse. If you are a model M keyboard fan then you know what this keyboard is about. Manufactured in USA by Lexmark in December 1994 but was purchased as NOS in about 2000. Was used daily for about 2 years then not used at all for about the next 5 years, then I used it with my T60p until I sold that about 3 years later. During those 3 years the use was very little as I traveled with the T60p most of the time. This was only used for my work, otherwise I have been a Mac user for pretty much all that time.

Condition is good to excellent. The keys are all in perfect shape, no faded key markings, all the keys have that great Selectric click to them. There is a bit of shiny on the space bar and on the left mouse button. The left mouse button spring is a bit weak. I don't have a PS-2 device to check this with but it worked perfectly up until I sold my T60p.

No scratches that I can see on the top, a few scuffs and scratches on the back from sitting flat on a desk.

Includes a Belkin 2 into 1 PS-2 adapter.

I have sold items here on TPSC before, this is where I sold my T60p, not sure if any records still exist. I can provide buyer with my Ebay info if necessary, have a 100% positive rating on Ebay.

I am going to ask $200 but am open to reasonable offers. I am not currently going to list it on Ebay unless I don't get any decent offers but I am listing on my local Craigslist.

Paypal payment only, verified shipping address only, buyer pays shipping of choice in addition to cost of keyboard.

Is this one of the Ms with a proper TrackPoint (strain gauge) or the replacement design that Unicomp used when they couldn't use the TrackPoint patents?
