Featured Refinements: IBM Model F | Brand: IBM |
This is the IBM 5170 PC Model F AT Keyboard, one of the rarest of the Model F keyboards. Less common than it's XT predecessor so these are quite sought after. This will work either with your vintage PC or your modern PC with a simple 5-pin DIN to PS/2 keyboard adapter (can be had for $1), along with a cheap PS/2 to USB adapter if your computer does not have a PS/2 port. There is also a Soarer's converter, which is a custom adapter someone designed specifically for Model F's and h...as some extra features, and can convert directly from DIN to USB.
I have not cleaned this keyboard and it has a bit of paint wear but is all there and works well. I did some basic testing with a Soarers converter. Feels great to type on. A fresh layer of paint and cleaning this one will look brand new. Since this is a vintage peripheral it is sold as is.
