Description:
Bought an Olympia SG1 and the seller threw in this wonderful IBM. Now, it does power up but it's going to need some work to get all of the keys moving again. Other than that, everything appears to be intact, including an old ribbon from who knows when. Looking forward to the day when I can add a typeface sample.

Spotted a Royal KMG at a thrift store one day and it became a surprising source of inspiration.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the IBM Model B on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the IBM Serial Number page and the IBM Model B By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
