I need your help finding an old IBM keyboard

[Hot Trout]

Guys, one and all. I am trying to locate a particular model of IBM keyboard for an old IBM XT in my garage. It was not very common on UK buy was common in US.

It is the IBM Model M 84 Key space saver keyboard, I could also use any M series clicky keyboard from the time but fancied this for the novel factor.

Could I ask everyone to have a look round for one for me, car boot sales, garage sales etc. I would really appreciate it.

I have one that says: MODEL M is that close?

I also have a very nice Sanyo MBC-555 computer that I could donate to a worthy cause.
Location is Minneapolis, Minnesota USA

What would be "a worthy cause for you" I am trying to modify a trailer to make a display area for my very modest collection of computers and retro games and tour it to the local fairs here in Central Ontario this summer and fall. I am hoping to give the younger generation a taste of "Back in the Day". I don't have many old computers and am always looking for any thing from the eighties to mid nineties.

PM me if you want. Thanks.

I haven't yet found the specific one you're looking for, but these ones are currently pretty cheap. The first one is on the UK ebay. The rest look as though they're on the USA Ebay. >.>' Might be worth your look.
