Alright guys, the post is finished. No more edits from now to the future about this keyboard. I will use it as it is, I won't change its original paint. Perhaps in the future, if the original logic board dies I will replace it with an XWhatSit one.

If you need help with any 4704 keyboard or just ...

Hi!

I'm planning to sell my F77 keyboard. It's original, not a reproduction. I don't have a price in mind, since it's difficult to put a price to this keyboard.

Also, I can hear good trades for it.

4978 is MINE and will be daily driven til i don't exist any more


Two years on, do you still exist?

If not, I call dibs on the IBM 4978 keyboard! And the industrial Model M, as well! :mrgreen:

Hi community! It's been a long time, I'm really busy with personal bussiness but sometimes I come here to refresh myself of good content.
This community is very important to me, and I'm also a software engineer, I can help solving this site issues. Regarding purchasing it, I'd be interested, this ...

Hello!

I managed to get an IBM F50 4704, and I'm looking for the shorter version of the IBM 5251 or 5285.

If you have one let me know!

Thanks

Hey! I'm interested, let's continue on pm

Thanks!

Hi community!

I'm looking to purchase this IBM Micro Cadam Keyboard:



I really don't know about prices, but if someone has one and is willing to sell it, I'm interested.

Thanks!

I saw your item post in ebay, do you have any photo of the shells to share with us?

Hi,

I'm searching for a Model M SSK, any model. I'm from Argentina, the shipping should be made with DHL or FedEx or UPS.

Thanks!

I can confirm this, I don't have photos now, but I can clearly see a lot of differences on my 3278's boards. And it's very noticeable, for example, 3 3278 that I have are made full of zinc metal, except of one, that is made of the same plastic of your old 5251.

What BAE means?

My oldest Model M is a terminal one from 1987, it has the same metal plate like yours with that zinc process! It's beautiful, I have to restore it, but the new beamsprings acquisitions threw that restoration away :D

But as a collector, it's very cool to have an early Model M in the collection ...

Yes, it has the same SDL detachable cable.

Hi community! glad to write a post for you guys again!

This year is a very good one, I managed to get between last week and yesterday a good loot of IBM boards with terminals.

The loot has:
* IBM 3278 75-key with plastic top and bottom case.
* IBM 3278 75-key with metal top and plastic bottom case ...

Soy de Argentina, te compro el teclado

You have balls my friend!

People should appreciate more this Model F variant, for me is one of the best. It has a solenoid included, a good layout and it's sexy. I have two of them, one restored, it's quite a job to make it work but with the new Pandrew's board you can adapt it very easy.

Good restoration, enjoy your new ...

I'm using one of my 5281 beamfoot as a daily driver for programming, in my rotation I have an F122, F77, Compaq 12000 and from time to time, Bigfoot and F3178

I use my beamfoot everyday for working, and I keep switching my Model F77, Bigfoot, 3178 and 122 so... I don't understand why people keeps complaining by layouts... I've never had a problem with that. (Software developer here)

In my personal opinion, Model Fs are 10/10 keyboards, the best of the ...

I'm searching for an IBM Pingmaster, chinese or japanese keycaps.

I have to offer a M50 blue label NOS with box in exchange if the seller wants.

Does it have a speaker inside?

I have an original F77 and let me tell you that the typing experience is unique. Very similar to the F122 but more solid in the last one. if you ask me, I prefer both. But, If I'd have to choose between the F77 replica and the F122, I'll go all day with the F122.

Sorry but I don't understand why would you apply the retrobright technique if the plastic will return to its old "yellowish" color? I did several retrobrights and after some time, the old color returns.
