Right on! Excellent to see you were able to do this

What's that? No information in the net. Hi placa, do you know where I can buy those plastic dust covers I see on the pic? Hi, this in my head is a sort of more 80s/90s product If I could say that... Here are some places to buy. No endorsement is made for these brands https://www.pckeyboard.com/page...

Wow, that's quite the crusty beamer. On the bright side, you have all the keycaps! As long as the PCB and switch internals are intact I'm confident you can get it to 100% working condition. Aesthetics wise, I would go with the battle scarred finish as it already looks visually intriguing. I am prob...

Probs should have added the photo... The 2 together are from the same beamspring. The other one is selectric.

Hi, This may be a cheapening but I am not sure. If you notice the black keycap here has thinner cross supports, but has a heavy oval center. The white cap has the rectangle but also thicker cross supports. Those two keycaps are from the same keyboard. The other cap is not a beamspring cap, but a sel...

Hi, In terms of your aesthetics question. The best aesthetic you can do, is your own. Whatever your heart tells you. That is the correct decision. Otherwise. Impressive. Wow. A lot of work. I think you are up to it. If you need any help, anyone here is happy to help. above all you should make the ke...

This what I have used most of the time for the past couple of years, along with a large tall gel wrist rest. Regardless of opinions on whether it looks better, to me it feels better and easier to use without the top case shell. And since someone will ask, the green is a cut glass drawer pull which ...

For the love of god, please no, I have already too much keyboard stuff

Just put in your will "don't trash the keyboards, they are worth MONEY you idiot" and all will be ok.

Put a price tag with $300 on it, easy

Hi,

Halfway down through this thread from fohat.digs there is a section about fixing a Model F case which is similar

https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=48786.0

I like this, it reminds me of nuclear markers but the opposite. We should investigate and discuss this further

Yep! Thanks for the pics SneakyRobb! IBM definitely could have intended for the numberpad to be arranged in the way I have pictured, but I haven't been able to find any documentation to confirm or deny that, so I was wondering if anyone else knew. Maybe the stabs were for a special function key for...

Hi, So I printed some miniatures I was going to send to snacksthecat, but they are at my parents house. They are self isolating with no symptoms. To be on the safeside I will wait for them to hopefully come out of the 14 days symptom free. I wont send the models until that time. They do exist though...

The wire stabilizers shouldnt affect anything, if theyre seated properly. IBM didnt skimp on engineering back in the day and they wouldnt design a key that bottoms out before it actuates. Try tipping the keyboard back so only the cable coming out of the rear of the keyboard is touching the ground o...

Hi, I think you are correct. I do notice that the newer ones are stiffer. Regardless I appreciate the recommendation. That is cool about the front door area. I've always not liked that part of the board and a replacement would be excellent. That would be great to watch a livestream. Would be interes...

Hi. That makes sense and is cool. I know you said that the narrow border areas can be a bit of an issue sometimes, so such markers make sense. Does this robot device save times in terms of manually turning? Were you using a "lazy susan" sort of thing before where you would manually turn it by hand? ...

Regardless of guilt/fault/whatever this thread should stop. Nothing good will come from it. We will gain no keyboard knowledge or excellence from this discussion. I am deeply dismayed at the occurrences here.

Interesting contest. I have some time at home right now. I might try this on my Optimus Prime or Tallgeese models

Super, man! Ball of springs - just get hold of one and screw it out of the ball. What's with all the copper? Hi thanks. Yes it was a process. I thought it was a fake box when it arrived it was so small and light. Felt empty and heard no metal on metal. I have a lot of copper tape and I enjoy how it...

Hi,

This is what I mean and I think the OP means about stabs on the F107 vs the F122/AT

This is why I said the OP Numpad could solve the question
and edit for the Zero key

does anyone know why there're stabilizer clips underneath where the 2u zero is on the numberpad? I don't understand the question, they are for the 2u zero. Appreciate the pics as always, saw them somewhere before tho. :P I think what he means is his keyboard has stabilizer clips under the 2u 0 key ...

does anyone know why there're stabilizer clips underneath where the 2u zero is on the numberpad? I don't understand the question, they are for the 2u zero. Hi, The f107 has the numpad stab holes between the bottom row and the next row up. http://i.imgur.com/3NQuG0X.jpg The rest of model f have such...

Hi, Okay. I can confirm that every other piece being original. The springs user lucar recommended, work. A video ( the tape method is responsible for noise differences. Also my wife was listening to some music in the background...) https://youtu.be/3N6w2Tx058s Another video where I remove the tape o...

Didn't know these came with BAE.... Did you mod in that layout yourself? Yeah I modded it when I replaced the foam, although the stabilizer clips were already inside the keyboard so maybe it was an additional option. I used this keyboard for phone work so it has a weird layout for filling out ticke...

Hi, So the springs lucar recommended finally arrived. They have many less coils than the original ones but are taller so will be compressed. Will upload some more images later of an original switch assembled. They seem to offer about the same resistance but I don't have a thing to measure. They are ...

And it's done! I think I've taken this one as far as I can go with it, without taking more pictures. This one I wish the I'd set my white balance correctly (had it leftover from a different set). So it turned out a little bit green/yellow. I adjusted the sketchfab settings to compensate for this. A...

Hi, I am glad you are getting the full functionality out of the board. Always good to see those buttons put to use.

There is always love for keyboards here.

Would you share how you setup your LED system?


Also I am not sure what brand this board is

Zbrush looks interesting. From my attempts there sometimes are little "hanger" pieces that are hard to remove. So that is cool and looks like it could help. Also I like your scans of switches. I've been trying to figure out realitycapture for a few days. Not sure what I'm doing wrong but hopefully I...

There were casualties

That looks great, Robb. How did you go about making it? Hi, I took the DXF model from the link as made by user "ShishHappens" I then put the oval dxf file into fusion360 from autodesk. I am not very good at 3d modelling. I sort of pulled up the text 2mm, and then the oval part 1mm. Then I exported ...

This is great news Robb, such a place should be reserved for generations to learn about where it all started.

Yeah its pretty cool. Will take a while to hear back from city about any documents they have. Should be interesting
