A little late to the comments but KZitem just recommended. I'm typing this comment on a Model M born on 8 Aug 89. So 34 years and still going - good for another 34 years at least. Like yours, this is also bolt-modded. I didn't do it myself but bought it from a guy around 7 or 8 years ago. Thank you SO MUCH for restoring another Model M - we need more of this in today's society - everything is throw away nowadays and nothing it built to last. Hell, the crappy keyboards that come prepacked with HPs nowadays are so bad you just throw them right away - no one wants them.

That was one of my first electronic keyboards out of HS, I learned to type on a manual typewriter. Max speed was 65 WPM for me at the time, started a new job and it was data entry. My speed went up by another 30 WPM using that keyboard, only issue was that the people around me couldn't stand the clickity clack sound (I typed all day long). Great restoration, and great memories. Whenever I see an old keyboard without the Windows key on it, I take it home and clean it up, adapt it for usb use but yeah people still can't stand me typing 110 WPM on it :)

Great video! Goes to show that these boards can even be brought back when severely abused and stored in an unhospitable environment. Sadly the bolt mod is a requirement for any M at some point, but once done, it should be good for another 30 or so years :)

Done a fair few of these restorations now, and even pre bolt mod it's a task and a half, a tip for removing keycaps quickly - put a flat head screwdriver on the underside of the keys and pull up, they'll come off in entire rows if you have a big enough screwdriver.

Great job on this restoration! Out of curiosity (I am also planning on doing this), what are the exact dimensions of the screws and nuts that you used? Also, what diameter holes did you drill, and what diameter rounded tip did you use for the bevel?

I bought the Unicomp Classic 101 March 2021 and now September 2023. Used a few times and was put into storage. Recently rediscovered and noticed "P" key was acting erratic requiring two or three taps to make contact. Contacted Unicomp and was given RMA but would cost $48.00 plus $16 shipping. After doing my own disassembly I found all but 6 plastic rivet heads were broken off. Unicomp claims this issue was resolved before I purchased in 2021. I would not advise purchasing from Unicomp based on my experience.
