Annual renewal done. It was a pleasure.

There is Herman Miller, as previously mentioned, but my experience with their Aeron many years ago was a bit of a .... I remember quite well my first sight at Herman miller's pro chairs on a very hot afternoon in Istanbul four point hotel. Both the chairs' design and their supposed ergonomy due to ...

But that's how it is in the UK. The US may be entirely different... From what I've heard, UK customs tend to be more pedantic than most. Pedantic is an euphemism if you consider my experience with UK customs. When I was contacted by uk cc dpd collect courier for paying an item coming from Shenzhen ...

It is a pity to keep them closed in their postal boxes. I think you have enough room in that corner to set a Ikea BESTA up as I made with mines. What do you think of my Ikea low cost solution? Consider anyway that I slightly modded it adding some extra shelves, some of them were also further modded...

~270 models off the top of my head – I keep them in Kallax cupboards. https://i.imgur.com/UPtDNhN.jpg Hi Chyros, your collection is amazing.... but you have to do something. I see on that wall a nice Ikea Besta windowed fitted furniture like that I publish here but with many more shelves. Think abo...

IMG_20190825_010741.jpg I'be just bought these new pair of flip flop on holiday here at Chania, Crete.... I was in full abstinence crisis from compulsive purchases, so my tarnished sight fell upon what seemed most close to a keyboard in an holiday place.... :lol: :lol: they are not the best, I know...

Here you are what you can do with a wrong purchase on eBay....

....So said the fox to the grape...

Congs with you.... On eBay yesterday an Italian layout one was sold for nearly a 1k... I am torn... On the one hand I've acquittance

Now all I need is a 4704

No problem, you'll find it here for free

AT has been my daily driver for the past three months, or since I finished the conversion. Hard to see anything else taking its place. In fact my interest in the hobby has gone down since I got it. Seems kinda pointless to get anymore keyboards after it. https://i.imgur.com/xCFLjqk.jpg Just bit sca...

I only notice it now, but that unsaver in the picture is not a Model F

Anyway, myoth, the unsaver in the pic, on the fifth row, with the red ESC key, should be an F, right?

Thanks, oh you are from Napoli.. my family came from there. Long live to Italy!

Greetings from Naples. Let me know when you will be here, because you will come soon, won't you?

Ahhh, What is it? a conjure?. I only needed some more pics to finish the overall picture... how fussy you are!! Ok the xt industrial has green Alps if i don't go wrong and the m50s should be replaced by 6019273s... But consider them as an artistic license.

Nice, I have only 2 models F.

IBM Model F Bigfoot
IBM 4704 F77

I'm in the searching for the others!

Oops, it seems there is the king among us... Gorgeous

How, what a great find I haven't never known the existence. Double returning keys and some others odds... Check it out my retrieves...@ https://www.dariocopellino.com/ibmkeybo ... oards.html

In Stranger things, ep. 4 season 3, an IBM xt pops up in a corner of the shot with a lotus 123 function key legend frame, quite yellowish.

Might there be interest for such a model?

Mine has some shine on keycaps but it is in good condition. Let me know if someone of you are interested before I put it on feebay.

Thanx

Uh... So you are among those who are waiting for the new kishaver? Did you have the chance to try it before placing the order? I am so curious to know how ping is it compared to our old ones.... If we consider that I have two model F AT quite different from each other

IMG_20190612_202508.jpg You are right!. Also mine is half italian & half English. I'd say Italiese, as all of us after all. Maybe at the time of the facts IBM tried to save some money...Mean people if you consider that the introductory price of a 5150 PC started at US$1,565 in early '80s (equivalen...

Italian keyboard for you all vintage IBM fans:

Italian very dirty Keyboard fans, i'd suggest....

Because I followed Geekhack tut by YakMN and you'd need to file the keyboard case in order to fit 1.5U. Anyway I wasn't scared to do so, but I preferred the 1.25 ones due to the key design I consider more inline with the ALTS modifiers. They give an F122 retro look style to the mod notwithstanding t...

Hi, no problem at all with the B key. G & H were cut with a cutter on the corners and then filed, though. Fortunately I had some spares.

In a lazy afternoon in South of Italy, warm is starting to make itself felt.... So instead of going out I preferred to swap key caps.
What do you think?

Not really sure what you are doing wrong but if it helps this is how I clamped my keyboard for the reassembly see the attached image Hi everyone and sorry if I ask something that might seem trivial to many veterans here. Surely I missed something in disassembling and assembling model F's early post...

Nice but....

You can also ask to Steven. He lives in Hong Kong and made for me a fantastic F3178 USB converter with solenoid. The converter doesn't need any soldering and it's connected straight into the keyboard male plug. I bought mine on ebay (https://www.ebay.it/itm/IBM-Model-F-3178-USB-Converter/16365344663...
