IBM Model M15 Split Ergonomic Keyboard M, Moderate keycap shine and wear

Description: Up for buy it now is a Model M15 buckling spring ergonomic keyboard. These were never included with a computer system, so they are relatively rare. This particular unit has a fair amount of shine on the 1u alpha keycaps, arrows, and right spacebar - see photos. These can be replaced by any model M2 type keycaps and I am including a parts Model M2 for you to swap keycaps from if you so choose. The included M2 has not been at all restored and is for parts only. The only keycap that isn't original on it is the "tab" keycap in place of where the "End" keycap should be in the upper right block and the profile of that key is actually slightly different as well as you can see from the pictures. The original PS/2 cable also has a torn jacket as it exits the keyboard and someone at some point likely repaired a similar crack near the PS/2 end with some flexible stress relief putty, however, this should be easy to replace with any other type of cable and you may even choose to put in an internal Soarer's Converter (Not included) and run a USB cable out of the keyboard instead. The ball hinge is slightly yellowed and has a cracked black O-ring, but functions well as is, though replacing that O-ring should be pretty easy as hardware stores stock all sizes of these. Only other issue is that one of the small rubber feet on the tall underside extensions is missing. It has not been restored or cleaned at all. All keys work well and register and actuate perfectly as expected. I will ship this with the halves separated within the box so as not to put any undue stress on the hinge/ball joint which I have heard can be damaged during shipping if left together. You will receive the exact keyboard pictured and nothing else. USA shipping will be free with tracking and signature confirmation.
