    P.S The Postman just delivered me a 1986 Silver Label IBM Model M

    What's the best/easiet/safest way to clean this badboy?

    If you can remove the keycaps (with care, ofc), use Steradent tablets. I used them to clean my G80 and they did a wonderful job... the caps came out looking brand new.

    As for the case I used brasso... it's mildly abrasive so it really gets into the plastic without damaging it.

    Yeah that one el2k, I don't know it might not go as high since it is old winkeyless. Sure UK layout is harder to find but all high price ones I have seen were winkey version, people looking to harvest the 1.25 mods for their Filcos and such.

    LoL F*CK that overpriced frankenboard! Just because it have dyesub they think it's worth the weight in gold.

    I suspect the G80 I'm using would fetch a fair price in the right market. All keys are doubleshots except the windows keys and menu key.

    @ fuus LOL :D This is good news, but there's no post on Tues or Weds so if I don't get the letter tomorrow I won't get it until Thursday :(

    I threw out my old IBM board last year.

    The definition of junk:
    Something you keep for years and throw out shortly before you need it or it becomes valuable.

    Yah but Fossala put it on Deskthority so I assume it will go a little higher than I had planned!

    Your Cherry G80-3000HSMGB at least 90, up to 250... it just depends a lot on auction. Last one went for less than before. I think they will be decreasing in value really soon when we start getting new caps made from GMK which have all of Cherry original doubleshot tooling. Sell now... cash in while you can.

    Yeah HAG will probably be more than £5 now since it has been posted to forums lol. It looks like it's in nice shape, but I don't think it is worth more than £70.
