[WTB] Buckling Spring Clack

Looking for a single-shot Buckling Spring Clack. Any color aside from yellow or white.

Have some other artisans to trade as well, but prefer to buy outright.

Re: [Vendor] IBM Model F 122-key terminal keyboards - $500 shipped US/CA/DE/FR/UK

PM'd! Always wanted an F-122 and I think from such a trusted member of the community, sourced from elecplus, these are very fair prices.

Re: Need help getting an AT Zenith Z150 working

Didn't realize there was ongoing work on the Z-150 AT, next time I have access to my office I'll have to pick mine up and get a Soarer's for it. Mine works pretty well with a simple DIN -> PS/2 -> USB, except that F7 doesn't register and I'd like some on-board (or on-adapter) remapping.

WTB Cherry doubleshot ISO board/keycaps

Hi friends, Looking for a pleasant enough set of doubleshot original Cherry keycaps. More than happy to accept a whole keyboard I can put into my rotation, or just a set of keycaps that I can use for an upcoming build. I'm not particular about newness -- the cleaner the better, but I don't mind caps...

Re: New Beamspring Converters on Ebay

Mine drops all the time when I hit my stride and the solenoid is on. So much so that I generally leave the solenoid off. I'm not a particularly fast typist, but common 3-4 key patterns frequently exceed the threshold on or of the later keypresses.

There's a presumption by some that all M's will sooner or later require a bolt mod. I'm not experienced enough with them to say whether that's true or not, but that's why it's a desirable thing to have.

In the current market, $600 seems to be fair for a 5251, but it's hard to say if prices will come down a bit, they basically skyrocketed a few months ago.

Looking back, I sold one for $200 in late 2016, as a point of reference, but that was indeed a little while ago.

Looks like it came out great! Did you touch up the paint on the case around the keycaps? I'm confused -- the last picture of the top case it looks like the paint is solid around the main opening, but in the first picture it's flaked off around the edges.
