Update (probably last one) (added more pics and stuff to original post): Finished restoration Gave up trying to convert the protocol because the og controller has limitations anyway. Instead I put QMK xwhatsit and solenoid And finally, a side by side with a bigfoot: https://i.imgur.com/TSH9Hxx.jpg T...

Update: Beginning conversion attempt (updated original post; see 'Conversion' section). Seeking any ideas for how to continue. Worst case ontario I can just stick an xwhatsit onto the conveniently placed test points on the rows and columns. If I take this route, do I need to remove the original chip...

Indeed. Hopefully these switches deserve their posh new home. I like the caps, but they’ve got that Stackpole vibe which makes me very wary!

Mine I cleaned and "lubed" with RO-59 and I think they are excellent! Smooth, no binding and of course a very fun click

This keyboard appears to have been made in 1967, not long after Raytheon started making their own keyboard switches. But this keyboard is made by NAVCOR, not Raytheon. At this point NAVCOR had been in the game for several years already https://i.imgur.com/diSmXQM.jpg keyboard: https://i.imgur.com/dl...

Come on, you can't post porn without telling us what it feels like. Mushy, tactile, linear? Forgive my lack of manners Travel distance feels pretty long (i like), bottom out nice and solid but not so "clacky". Sound is nice but since it is mag reed there is a faint squeak from the contacts opening/...

Awesome to see another one of these!

Hi I got this keyboard https://i.imgur.com/wFwD9zo.png This is still a work in progress; I have finally cleaned it and am now working on converting it to USB. Will probably be a while though as I have a lot of projects Lots of photos in here: Unfortunately it was not packed appropriately for a 21lb ...

I can live witout it

I ended up sanding until it was flat but I didn't bother getting the original paint off entirely, was no evidence of it after painting https://i.redd.it/9vnjyld8x6f71.png But the crack was surprisingly visible after painting https://i.imgur.com/o2DFX4v.png The repair was pretty sloppy too https://i....

Hi I like beamspring and Microswitch SW and I want more. Any condition is ok with me, in fact I am looking for a trashed beamspring for parts
Both of my Models F are restored with new foam and keystems barrels flippers cleaned in ultrasonic cleaner
Let me know what you have and what you want

Forgot to give an update
It worked perfectly for about a week, then a key on the bottom row failed. Didn't bother fixing it as the 2KRO drives me crazy anyway.
Thankfully I recorded a typing video while it still worked, finally got around to uploading it:

I found my "cushionless" wheelwriter flippers in my First Edition Wheelwriter 3. I assumed they were in all wheelwriters but they seem to be uncommon. I also find them to have a longer travel distance and harder bottom out, like an f. But they are just as heavy as any other m. Wheelwriters also omit...

I got an f122 case with a crack as well as a chunk missing (on which was one of the tabs for holding the bottom case) At first I tried using jb weld but because it's a high stress area it didn't hold up when i tried to assemble it. On my second attempt I melted wire mesh into it then filled in the g...

You mad man!

I actually love it. Great layout. Anything that gives right hand space but has little impact functionality is a winner for me. What would you call this layout?

I am open to suggestions
I am leaning towards a play on unsaver, maybe resaver
