| condition |
Keyboard pre-selected as good candidate and passed initial testing to confirm mechanical condition. Upper keyboard case disassembled and individual 101 keys have been removed and fully cleaned by hand. Inspection of interior plate. All 56 plastic rivets drilled out and replaced with M2 precision screws to restore internal integrity. Interior plate vacuumed to remove foreign debris. Keyboard re-assembled and re-tested post-cleaning. Individual photography of rear label. Photo gallery of typical restoration workflow. |

Similar to IBM model M13 in terms of buckling-spring keyboard feel, but uses Unicomp materials and Unicomp “force sensing resistor” trackpoint technology which differs from IBM’s patented “strain gauge” trackpoint design.
