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...

models_F.jpg

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...

Personally I found very easy opening and closing F AT without clamps. My solution is opening like a book just loosing the top tabs with tongs I think he was referring to the case itself, not the assembly. I agree with Fohat that the F AT case is a bit of a bitch to open. You feel like you're going ...

ML000215-2304x1728.JPG Here it's mime. It's not the usual before and after mod pic. It''s rather a sister act. I preferred to buy a second model F AT (thanks myoth) to find the courage to risk such an ardite mod. The black keycaps set comes from an ibm model m13. I followed the very good YakMN tuto...

M5-1.JPG I rediscovered model M's quite late as computer geek, during my work at Italian broadcast television company. Here in the South of Italy, there were few chances to work in big companies and ibm workstations could be only found in big bank institutes or, indeed, at RAI Tv. At the beginning ...

Hi I'd like the model f 1.5x key caps (the grey shift & the white right square/curl braket) Any chances?

Hi, my F122 uses a 180 degree DIN, strangely. However, In another project I tried to make an additional cable in order to convert an old teensy / soarer's by Orihalcon 240° to 180° without success. IMG_20190513_203737.jpg In practice: usb cable from pc > teensy 2 with 240° female plug soldered > add...

IBM SPSS Modeler is a leading visual data science and machine learning solution. Leading organizations worldwide rely on IBM SPSS Modeler for data discovery. Strange the direction is taking this post. It started to be a Model F tribute, but very soon became a tribute to Beamsprings, now has a clear...

Thanx a lot for your precious suggestions darkshado. I'll keep the community updated as soon as I finish the job. I am counting on a Dremel tool and a good hand file, but still need to get the two extra barrels and springs for the modifier keys, beside the soarers converter. Maybe eBay could help me...

I am all ears...go on.

bookmrk'd. great job. I'm modding me too, soon. I'm going to follow this https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=48288.0. What do u think of it. Any hints?

Oh, ok, but I don't think to go over half thousand. Consider that on Reddit you can find it at 500$ from cumswagon and as you well know you aren't on eBay here. Let me know if change your mind about it. Cheers.
