True enough; Model M covers a lot of variations,
but I did add a smiley... ;-)
There are 24PF keyboards on eBay, also worth more
than I'd pay (unless I had to ;-)
Do these usually have detachable cords? Many of
them did...

The keyboards go for stupid amounts, and get
butchered...
.. but note those you found are 12PF key boards
with PS/2 jacks.
The ones on the terminals will be 24PF Key, with
a socket with a screw
retaining ring....
