IBM 5251 Beamspring with black Selectric ii caps
I bit the bullet and bought a very junky selectric ii with beautiful black caps. I took the number row and WASD to put on my 5251. Thought? I think it looks pretty darn nice.

Can you add keys to a 5251?
I was wondering if I remove the tall + on the 5251 if I would be able to add two switches and use three 1u keys instead of the tall 3u +? Does the pcb have traces to those pads? Also, has anyone replaced the dummy switch in the spacebar top make it even clicklier?

Re: Using a Model M spacebar on Model F AT/122
The easiest way is to slip 2 washers over the "V" and ",<" barrels. Wcass discovered that 7/16" SAE washers work quite well. Their weight is just right, and although they may interfere with the bottom millimeter of key travel, it is hardly noticeable. I don't know what the metric equivalent would b...

I've had this f122 for a few years and it's been my daily at work. I recently painted an old terminal M to see how the color would match up to an industrial and I Was happy. I painted my F122 this weekend and changed up a few other things. I think it turned out nice! Thoughts?

I'm looking at ordering a set of colored and a set of blank grey keys from unicomp for my model f, but the high cost to buy and ship to my country is making me iffy. Does anyone have any pictures of their keyboard with these keycaps so I can see if they look good?
Thanks!
