Mythaeus- finding one with 100% IBM parts is pretty much unheard of- and if you do, it's been redone. The way these were rearsenaled- or even repaired in the field- pretty much explains this. I've seen pics of the depots and field repair units with piles of parts- no care was ever taken to make sure of anything other than function. Look for one with the receiver marked as IBM, that should be satisfying enough.
I have 4 Inlands and a Saginaw, and have been looking for an IBM as well. They're not easy to find, and run 6-900.
I'm really, really jealous of SteveWag.......
