Re: Model F122 Column Issue

The problem could be where the ribbon cable connects to the pcb. Have you done a continuity test from the ribbon cable to one of the pads on the bad column?

Re: My "new" square badge Model M with unusual sticker inside

I have an IBM Model M silver badge with that blue sticker on the backplate. I believe mine is a part no. 1390136 but don't know for sure as it is missing it's rear label. It's UK layout with lock lights and the shiny rainbow back plate. I think the keyboard originally had its label but lost it over ...

Re: Replacement Foam Mat for IBM Model F Keyboards?

For all my IBM Model F restorations (XT, AT, F122) I use 3mm neoprene foam with great results. Yes it is harder to compress the plates but totally worth it as it feels even all over and not hollow in the middle rows.

I had this exact problem with one of my Model F's. It was dust in the capacitive PCB.

This is done by tilting the keyboard back as you install the key. If that still doesn't solve the problem than...
