Hi
I have an original IBM model M keyboard (US 101-key layout, P/N 1391401).
This keyboard dropped very hard on the ground. IBM made these keyboards very
robust, but this treatment was too much.
The black support frame with all the chimney is cracked completely.
(this happend before I removed it from the metal base plate :-)
See: http://www.ibmsystem3.nl/downloads/Model_M_1385796.jpg
Does anyone know a source for this black support frame P/N 1385796 ?
(besides buying a donor keyboard)
Does anyone knowns where IBM purchased them from ?
(I can't believe that IBM made these themselves)
Try Unicomp:

They've quoted me for a replacement space bar for one of my IBM Model
Ms. Sadly, the part was cheap, the shipping was very much not.
