IBM 3101 keyboard - was Re: Keyboard "enthusiasts"

Hi Ian, I have a keyboard that looks similar but it's in several pieces because I am currently in the process of restoring it. The barrel plate (the plate that holds the beam spring switches in place) and exterior needs paint. This was very rusty and in rough shape when I got it but I'd love to see it in use (if I can't find a 3101 terminal). I also took the beam spring switches apart and cleaned them up. It is in need of final restoration but I can't paint until summer now (or get it sent out). Send me a message off-list and I'll take some pics. Are there variations to the 3101 terminal? I'm not sure this particular keyboard is the right one you need but if you have the IBM part number, I can check. I am not the Canadian guy that Cindy sold those keyboards to but I can only imagine what they went for. I now tend to buy these IBM keyboards first (when they happen to come up) and match up the terminal later. Doing it the other way around just doesn't work any more. I think this particular model is sought after because it has the beam spring key switches and is "slim line" compared to most other beam spring keyboards. It also has enough keys to have a decent PC layout, unfortunately. Santo On Wed, Jan 24, 2018 at 2:06 PM, Ian Primus via cctalk < cctalk at classiccmp.org> wrote:
