comments	Keyboard is a 1391401 keyboard made in 1993 by IBM.  Similar in construction to most 1993-1995 52G9658 and 82G2383 keyboards with drainage channels but with additional original IBM features of removeable, SDL to ps/2 cable, two-piece key caps and key stems and multi-color printing on key caps (green lettering on Alt keys, secondary gray lettering on numeric keypad keys).  These 1993 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.  Many keyboards are still taped to white styrofoam packaging (with 16 year old tape).  While corners of the styrofoam packaging have been broken from storage for 16 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.
comments	Keyboard in 100% perfect condition. Very nice addition for those who appreciate a true mechanical buckling spring keyboard in perfect, new condition.
