IBM Model M question

[Arndroid]

Hey guys,

 

I've just got my hands on a IBM Model M, for a few days actually. :) I got it for $10 including shipment.

After a few seconds to adjust, I think I don't want anything else anymore, haha.

It's a bit loud, but only when it's getting late that becomes a problem, heh. (I like it, but others don't.)

 

So my question is:

I'm missing the numpad keycaps 2 and 9.

Can I order replacements, I mean without adding $20 of shipping. (I live in Europe)

 

And my right Shift isn't clicky and barely works.

Any tips on that one? I don't have the correct screwdriver to take it apart yet.

Edit: I've take it off and put it back on, and now it is clicky and working again. :D

To be precise it's the "1396790", it has a non detachable cable, but if I really need it, I have my soldering iron. :)

For a second I thought your mouse had a weird cancer like growth on it. Sorry i just awoke awoke after 3 hours of sleep.

I can sell you the two key caps that you are missing. I have two Model M's that I am parting out.

Cool, I'll send you a PM. :)

Hah, I actually really like this mouse, you even can play games like LoL on it easily.

You just have to get used to a Trackball.

Nice, that's a really nice deal considering it's from Ebay.
