| condition |
These 1995 keyboards were recently found in 2009 in an old IBM spare parts warehouse. Keyboards were found to be in excellent, unused condition in a large 20"x20"x20" IBM container, each holding 12 keyboards in the original styofoam packaging. While corners of the styrofoam packaging have been broken from storage for 14 years, these keyboards appear to be excellent units.
It would be unfair to call these units as used or refurbished items as they are very clean on exterior and interior surfaces and show zero physical signs of previous use. No additional cleaning was necessary. All items were carefully tested and re-tested. (however, since they are not in their original IBM cardboard boxes, we would neither claim nor sell them as "brand new, never been used) and we are selling at discounted rate. |

Very nice addition for those who appreciate a true mechanical buckling spring keyboard in perfect, nearly new condition. |
