IBM Model M dome swap & chopjob
Turn up the radio! Today's hot single: Bitteneite's 70% Model M with choplog.
KBD.newsPublished July 30, 2021
Bitteneite was very tired of being the one without an SSK, so he made one himself.
Used to be a dirt-cheap 71G4644 I got for about 10 bucks… for funsies!
The donor was a Model M 71G4644 (rubber dome version) from an eBay auction.
The board is now chopped and converted into good old buckling springs.
Here's the picture-heavy restoration log for those interested.
