I'd be interested in one from the new batch.

Okay, shimming the connectors on the 'iffy' ones actually worked REALLY well. I was actually able to grab the connector at the back of the PCjr and wiggle it around without missing any keystrokes as I typed. I'm not going to raise the price because they still don't look as good as the ones that were put together properly in the first place, but they should hold together and operate just as well as the 'good' ones now.

I like using my PC 5150 keyboard on my Jr, but being able to use newer PS/2 keyboards might come in handy sometime.
Mike, how do you connect the 5150 to the Jr?

I'm interested in purchasing a PS/2 converter if still available, but not a shimmied one. Looks are important :)
