If you've managed to kill that many Model M's there must be some sort
of dubious prize out there somewhere waiting for you.
Those things are built like frakking *tanks*!

I'm pretty sure this is only the second one I spilled coffee in. Third
one at most.
I didn't know back then about being able to clean it & dry it out so it
could be made workable again. Hell, I didn't even know that last night
until I started looking for replacements.
It may not be beyond resurrection.
Most of them I used to build computers for my mom and other family
members and/or as replacements for family & friends when one of them
trashed a keyboard.
If I'd known, I'd have recovered the keyboards when those computers got
replaced.
Baxter the cat jumped off my shoulder onto my desk and knocked a full
cup of coffee over into my keyboard. She's gone off to sulk because she
didn't like being scooped up and moved out of the way so I could try to
dry the keyboard with towels.
Cat's alright (other than some hurt feelings) but the keyboard is DEAD!
I had to dig out my last spare, brand new in the box, Genuine IBM Model
M keyboard to replace it.
I should have bought more than a dozen way back when.
