Re: [EU ONLY] - 2 Model F XT for Sales USB converted
I would love to buy one of them if you still got one when I get back from some travelling in late April.

Re: F104+SSK+122+62+77+50+Ergo orders now open! New Kishsaver+Industrial Model F Keyboards
This is really really awesome. The possibility of a F122 not (that) much bigger than a normal model M is really interesting to me. By the way, I was looking at the 3D render of the F122 and was wondering, is it possible to make the numpad into a 5x4 keypad or do we have to use the two 2U Plus, Enter...

Re: Here is my Unicomp New Model M with Green Lock Lights
Looks great! I don't know why companies keep putting blue LED's in devices. I love my old Filco Majestouch but why did they choose blue LED's?

How important is the keyboards in the installation? It could be possible to build it by building a floor of frosted glass with we...

Re: [FS] IBM 8573-031 Portable P70 Laptop Keyboard
They go for 150€+shipping on eBay. At least, so I sold mine (a spare one) in the beginning of the 2021 on eBay. I love IBM p70 keyboards.

Re: [FS] IBM 8573-031 Portable P70 Laptop Keyboard
You're right, it does look fairly straightforward to convert it. I am interested but I don't know what one is worth and I really don't want to lowball you, so I would be very grateful if anyone could help to give me an approximate value of a keyboard like this.

[WTB] [EU-SE] Model M, manufactured August 5th 1987
I thought I should try my luck.
I am looking for an IBM model M (any variation) manufactured on August 5th 1987.
I would prefer a German or Scandinavian layout.
I am not sure what they are worth but I wouldn't hesitate to pay 200-250€ for a keyboard in good condition.

Don't worry, you aren't wasting our time. Just take your time and practice but try to practice on some soldering kits to avoid possibly damaging your keyboard. Welcome to the hobby!

It is brave of you to try this but I think you might have to practice on the soldering part a bit more.

Re: How usable is the Model F XT layout?
Buy it! The XT is an excellent keyboard, weird enough to add character but normal enough to be actually usable. My only gripe is the rather stiff space bar.
Buy it, get a soarers converter, rebind it the way you like it and enjoy!

There are many reasons for the "shipping taking forever", QC is just one of them. It's not like he had a warehouse filled with ModelF's for 5 years and just had to QC and ship them.
